Sports play a major role in American culture. At The Chapel, we believe that sport is more than a game. Our goal is to to combine fun, competition, and the love of sport with opportunities that provide a comfortable zone to build relationships with some great people. Sports Ministries is wide open to our community, and we welcome you to check us out.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. — 2 Timothy 1:7
