We are not meant to do this alone.
A Chapter is a weekly table of six to ten — eating together, praying together, and learning to tell the truth about our lives. Modeled on the class meetings John Wesley left to the Church.
A shared meal, an honest conversation, a prayer for one another.
In plain terms: a Chapter is a small group of six to ten people who meet weekly, in the same time and place, for a season. It's the natural next step after you've been to a Sunday or two and want to go deeper.
Sundays gather the whole church around Word and Table. But the deeper formation — the kind that reshapes a marriage, a Tuesday morning, a friendship at work — almost always happens in smaller rooms. Chapters are those rooms.
Each Chapter is hosted by a couple or pair from 1927 and meets at the same time and place each week. Members commit to one another for a season. Children are welcome where logistics allow; otherwise we keep the rhythm adult-only and protect it accordingly.
A meal.
Hospitality is the on-ramp. We start around a table.
A reading.
A short Scripture passage — often tied to Sunday's text — and a few questions to chew on.
A check-in.
Each person briefly shares how their week with God has actually gone. Honesty over performance.
A prayer.
We pray for one another by name before we go.
Unity, not uniformity. This is what we mean.
Chapters are a commitment, not a drop-in. We ask members to come weekly for a defined season, to keep what is shared in the room confidential, and to extend grace when life gets in the way (because it will).
If that sounds like more than you are ready for — Sundays are a beautiful place to begin. Chapters will still be here when the time is right.
One table. With room for more.

Christianity is essentially a social religion. To turn it into a solitary one is to destroy it.
