REGULAR SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES: 9:00am and 10:47am
The 9:00 service is"blended," in that it blends the best of traditional hymns with contemporary praise music. You'll hear electric guitar and drums as well as organ and piano and choir. The order of service has some traditional elements and some more contemporary ones.
The 10:47 modern worship service emphasizes the newest, band-driven music, a greater visual impact through video, and more time spent in worship through song. The feeling is more informal, intimate and relational.
The sermon is the same message at both services.
At 8:00am we offer in-depth Bible study in our Adult Sunday School
Sunday Worship Service Times: 9:00am and 10:47am
Our pastors are lively and personable. Their messages are firmly based in Scripture, but always relate to the everyday. They love to use stories from their own lives to get their points across. Each message reminds us of the God who loves us just as we are and calls us to the challenging adventure of a living faith in Jesus Christ.
Chapel Hill is a vibrant church filled with friendly, caring people. We offer something for everyone. Our ministries are detailed throughout this website, and we welcome your questions about any of them. Check us out to see what interests you. Then come and join us this Sunday for worship!

Nursery and Sunday School
We have a Sunday morning nursery for babies and programs for ages 3 through Pre-K during each service. Your easiest access to the nursery and preschool classrooms is through Entrance C. For your child's security, you will be asked to register by filling out a short contact/health information form when you arrive, and to check your child in and out.
Our
elementary age Sunday school at 9:00am is called High C's Adventure. It serves children in grades Kindergarten thru 5th grade. During our 10:47 service K-5th grades begin in the sanctuary with their parents and are dismissed from there to their class (called "The Surf Shop"). For more details on our opportunities for kids, check out our
Chapel Hill Kids site!

They'll either have an answer for you or be able to direct you to someone who does. Please stop by Connect Center to request a Guest Packet.

We offer hearing enhancement devices for those who need them. Pick one up before the service at Connect Center in the lobby. We also have large print bulletins for those with vision difficulties. Request one from one of the ushers stationed at the entrances to the Sanctuary. If your children remain with you during the service, you may obtain Kids Activity Bags from an usher.
