By Carie GordyCommunications Coordinator I never imagined that loving someone deeply could also feel so spiritually lonely. Being spiritually mismatched isn’t just about different beliefs, it’s about the ache of wanting to share the deepest part of your soul with the person that matters the most to you, only for them to seemingly not get […]

By Ellis White, Senior Pastor If you’ve been around church for a while, you’ve probably noticed that the songs our younger generation sing today sound a bit different from the ones we grew up with. Some are louder. Some repeat more. Some feel more like personal prayers than corporate declarations. And maybe, if you’re honest, […]
By Jesse Yi-Gray, Director of Music So often in scripture we see references and images and declarations of worshipping God. From the Psalms where “…all the earth worships you and sings praises to you” (66:4) or Isaiah where “…the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of […]
By Julie Hawkins, Associate Pastor of Ministry When I was a kid, church was never just a place we went on Sundays. It was a place where my parents showed me what it meant to live a life of service. My mom was part of a prayer team, taught Sunday School, and led Bible studies. […]
By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Monday morning is when reality hits. The alarm goes off, the emails pile up, and the week begins whether you’re ready or not. For a lot of us, faith feels like something we left in the car after church on Sunday. We believe in Jesus—but when the boss is breathing […]
By Rachel White, Pastor of Next Steps If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “faith in Jesus should change the way we live and the world around us” James is the book for you and I’m excited that tomorrow we start our sermon series in James: Faith That Works. I grew up in a Christian home, […]
By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Hey church, it’s Pastor Ellis. I’ve been hearing from many of you over the last several days about how you have been impacted by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. So, I wanted to put some thoughts out there, about how we, as followers of Jesus, should respond to this tragedy, […]
By Ellis White, Senior Pastor This past week has been heavy. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a tragic and senseless act of violence. Like many of you, I’ve grieved the loss of his life and prayed for his family and loved ones. Added to that, our own community has been shaken by a heartbreaking […]

By Ellis White, Senior Pastor As you read these words, I’m soaring home from Tanzania—alongside pastors from churches across the U.S. and our own Pastor Julie —where we met the very children whose hearts and hands chose families and individuals from Chapel Hill. What an extraordinary gift this journey has been. Tomorrow, Reveal Sunday, marks […]

By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Tomorrow is not a Sunday you’ll want to miss. For the last few weeks we’ve been asking you to circle September 7 on your calendar—without saying exactly why. That wasn’t an accident. Because what God is about to do among us is bigger than anything we could manufacture on our […]
By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Labor Day weekend. That rare and beautiful moment when we all collectively agree: Let’s not work today. And thank God for it. Because whether you’re grinding out reports, wrangling toddlers, managing a team, or trying to remember the password for your HR software so you can submit your time off […]
By Jenna Arnold, Director of Digital Outreachand Carie Gordy, Communication Coordinator When my daughter Josie and I arrived at Camp Levi, we didn’t know what to expect. It was our first mission trip, and after a full day of training on Sunday and part of Monday, we finally found out who our camper would be. […]
By Cara Taylor, Director of Outreach Love is like a magic penny. Hold it tight and you won’t have any. Lend it, spend it, and you’ll have so many, they’ll be rolling all over the floor! This song from my childhood captures the way Chapel Hill experienced deeper relationships and blessing even as we gave […]
By Judson TaylorSenior Director of Marketing and Communications This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed—a moment worth celebrating. In 325 A.D., Christian leaders from across Europe, Africa, and Asia—representing places like Spain, Egypt, and Persia—gathered at the Council of Nicaea to affirm what the Bible teaches about Jesus: that he is fully […]
By Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor For the past two months, we’ve been trying something new: gathering as one church family at 10:00 am every Sunday. When we first announced this summer trial, we weren’t sure what to expect. Would the room feel full? Would people come? Would it work? Over time, we’ve listened, reflected, and reviewed […]
By Jenna ArnoldDirector of Digital Outreach A couple of years ago during our For the One series, we asked our church family what keeps them from sharing their faith. By far, the most common answer was this: “I don’t know what to say.” I completely get that. I’ve been there too—moments when someone asked a […]
By Paul HargreavesSenior Director of Family Ministries We just wrapped up an incredible week of Summer Blast Vacation Bible School! Our theme was True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World, and what a wild and wonderful adventure it was! All week long, we pretended we were exploring Alaska with our kids—surrounded by shimmering glaciers, […]
By Pastor Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor What if the people most ready to hear about Jesus aren’t far away… but already in your life? Every Sunday this summer, something beautiful is happening as we gather as one church family—young and old, new and long-time, all in one room. There’s something powerful about it. You can feel […]
