We are looking forward to celebrating the resurrection of Jesus this Easter at The Chapel! If you're not currently connected to a church family, we'd love to have you join us this Easter. The Chapel is one church in four locations, so chances are, there is a campus near you in the Western New York area. Below you will find our schedule for the entire Easter weekend, as we will be gathering on Good Friday (April 18th) and Easter Sunday (April 20th) to remember Jesus' death and resurrection. We hope to see you soon!
Easter Sunday at 9am & 11am only • Birth - 6th Grade • All Campuses
On Easter Sunday - and every Sunday! - we have engaging, fun, and age-appropriate environments just for kids. During each worship gathering, we invite kids from birth through 6th grade to join us in Chapel Kids, where they'll learn about Jesus in a way they can appreciate and understand. On Easter Sunday, Chapel Kids will be available at 9am and 11am (our 7am worship gathering will be "family style" with no separate environment for kids).
If you're new to The Chapel, we encourage you to pre-register your child for Chapel Kids in advance. This will save you a few extra minutes on Sunday morning when you arrive. Click the button below to get started! New Family Registration
One of our Easter traditions at The Chapel is a special offering that gets strategically re-invested outside of us through some of our ministry partners. We call these partnerships “Kingdom Come” as we join with other ministries to advance the mission of God in the world - to see God's kingdom come and his will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This year, we are looking to use this Easter Offering to bless the following Kingdom Come partners:
Jericho Road Community Health Center
Our friends at Jericho Road are opening up an internship program, and they're identifying students in the city of Buffalo interested in the healthcare field, and helping provide a path forward for them to pursue a medical career. We want to help expand this initiative.
Jesse & Bria Pohle
Jesse and Bria are a married musical team who use their talents to worship God and encourage people in His love for them. In May and October of this year, the Pohles will be taking trips to Ukraine to minister to the Ukrainian soldiers who are on the frontline serving in the invasion from Russia. The financial support given would be used towards the evangelistic and humanitarian aid for these two trips.
HEAL International
Refugees face many challenges when they arrive in America - trying to navigate language, cultural differences, and learning to manage many of our systems (healthcare, social services, schools, etc.). HEAL International helps with this transition and aims to help these refugees adapt to this new life - right here in the city of Buffalo. And HEAL does all of that with a Gospel-centered approach, as they seek to love and serve people in the name of Jesus.
True Happiness Ministries
Lamech Inbaraj, Executive Director of True Happiness, was recently visiting with us and shared their plans for a VBS program in India that will reach 100,000 kids all over their country. We want to assist their efforts in bringing the Gospel to children.
New Story Church
One of the churches we've planted here locally is New Story in the Kenmore-Tonawanda area. They've recently experienced some growth as they minister to young families, and are in need of some additional space. We want to help them outfit an environment for their children's ministry.
*Ministry Partner in the Middle East
For security reasons, we cannot share the name of this ministry partner or their organization. Their work among the Arab-speaking world continues to have a great impact for the Gospel. In addition to evangelistic efforts to Muslims, this partner is also planning several trips to train pastors and church leaders in many parts of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Your gift to the Easter Offering will be used to bless these ministry partners. You can contribute to these efforts using the Easter Offering envelope at any campus - or by clicking the link below and selecting Easter Offering from the dropdown menu. Thank you for partnering with us at this Easter season!
