God sets the vision, we set the pace.
1. theChapel Projects Lane
Every location and every space we create represents an opportunity to reach someone we haven't reached yet.
• PORT RICHEY LOCATION | A PERMANENT HOME
We're searching for the right property to establish a permanent home for our Port Richey campus, creating more room for families to connect, relationships to grow, and people to experience life change.
Because we don't own our current space, we're limited in how we can use it and the ministry opportunities we can offer throughout the week. A permanent home would give us the freedom to serve our community in more ways, expand our ministries, and create a place where people can connect and grow beyond Saturday evenings.
Project Cost: $1 million
Already Budgeted: $150,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $850,000
• THECHAPEL ACADEMY | INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION
Through theChapel Academy, we're investing in the next generation by providing a faith-based education that prepares students academically, socially, and spiritually for what's ahead. Building on the successful foundation of our VPK program, accelerated by the generosity of our Legacy Team we plan to expand into kindergarten in 2027, with the goal of adding another grade level each year.
The early years of a child's life shape so much of who they'll become. This expansion gives us the opportunity to invest in students throughout their formative years, help them grow in their faith and character, and build lasting relationships with families in our community.
Project Cost: $150,000
Already Budgeted: $75,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $75,000
• CHAPEL KIDS | 1ST & 2ND GRADE WKND EXPERIENCE EXPANSION
With Chapel Kids experiencing 22% growth from 2025 to 2026, we’re creating more space for kids to discover Jesus, build right relationships, and grow in their faith. We’re exploring two options: reconfiguring our existing space to expand the Chapel Kids experience or expanding into adjacent space as a current lease comes to an end.
Costs for both options are being calculated and will be shared as soon as they’re available.

2. Leadership Development Lane
We're investing in the next generation of leaders, helping them develop the character, confidence, and skills to make a difference wherever God takes them.
• THE INTERNSHIP | DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS
We believe the next generation of leaders needs more than potential. They need opportunities to develop it. Through hands-on experience, mentoring, and teaching from experienced leaders, the Internship equips high school and college students to lead with character and competence.
But developing leaders is only part of the opportunity. As our interns enter the workforce, we want to create pathways for them to continue growing and serving at theChapel. Beginning in 2027, our goal is to increase support for the Internship's ongoing costs while building the financial capacity to potentially hire select interns. This investment allows us to recognize and retain promising young leaders, creating opportunities for them to continue developing their gifts and calling at theChapel rather than having to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Project Cost: $235,000
Already Budgeted: $30,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $205,000
3. Care & Counseling Lane
Everyone faces difficult seasons. We want to make sure people have access to the support, guidance, and encouragement they need to move forward.
• THE HOPE CENTER | MAKING HOPE ACCESSIBLE
For many individuals and families, the cost of counseling can stand in the way of getting the help they need. Through the Hope Center, we're removing that barrier by making professional counseling and classes affordable and accessible.
When people can't get the help they need, the impact often reaches beyond one person, affecting marriages, families, and relationships. With more than 340 counseling sessions every quarter, the need is real and ongoing. Many individuals and families rely on financial assistance to access these services. Your generosity helps remove financial barriers so more people can find healing, strengthen their families, and build healthier relationships.
Project Cost: $210,000
Already Budgeted: $60,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $150,000
4. Community Outreach Lane
We don't want to simply be a church in our community. We want to make our community better because we're here.
• YEARLY SERVE PROJECTS
Through Serve projects, we're meeting practical needs and building lasting partnerships with schools, shelters, and local organizations. From supporting veterans and first responders to helping families facing difficult circumstances, the opportunities continue to grow.
We believe our community should be better because theChapel is part of it. As schools reach out and partnerships expand, we're seeing more opportunities to make a meaningful difference. Your generosity helps us respond to real needs, build stronger relationships, and demonstrate the love of Jesus in practical ways that make our community a better place to live.
Project Cost: $230,000
Already Budgeted: $120,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $110,000
5. Missions Lane
Our opportunity to make a difference doesn't stop in our own backyard. We're partnering with organizations around the world to meet real needs and share the hope of Jesus.
• HAITI | THECHAPEL ACADEMY
Through theChapel Academy Haiti, we're providing education, meeting practical needs, and creating opportunities for children and families to build a stronger future. In a country where poverty and limited access to education create significant challenges, our school provides more than a classroom. It's a place where students can learn, grow, and find hope for their future.
And our investment goes beyond the school year. Through a kids summer camp, a nine-week summer feeding program providing meals six days a week, and expanded adult literacy classes for parents, we're addressing needs that impact the entire family. By investing in both children and their parents, we're helping create opportunities that can change lives for generations.
Project Cost: $25,000
Already Budgeted: $10,000
Remaining Vision Gap: $15,000
• ESWATINI | CHILDREN'S CUP
Through our partnership with Children's Cup, we're helping provide care, education, and opportunities for children and families in Eswatini. For many children, challenges like food insecurity and limited access to education can stand in the way of a healthier future.
Through a local CarePoint, we're helping meet needs that extend far beyond a meal. Children receive meals five days a week, after-school support, and opportunities to learn about Jesus and grow in their faith. Families also benefit from literacy programs, small-scale farming, and health and nutrition education. By meeting immediate needs while investing in spiritual growth and practical life skills, we're helping build stronger families and healthier communities for generations to come.
Project Cost: $20,000

• HONDURAS | EXPLORING WHAT'S NEXT
We're exploring a new CarePoint partnership in Honduras that would expand our ability to serve children and families and create opportunities for lasting impact.
