We Don’t Just Go to Church

We Go Into the World

At Little Chapel, missions isn’t a program, it’s who we are. From our local community, to places across the globe, we believe the Church is called to show up, serve well, and bring the love of Jesus wherever we go. And you don’t have to be a missionary to be a part of it.

What We Support

We partner with ministries and missionaries doing real work in real places — feeding families, rescuing the vulnerable, training leaders, and reaching people with the Gospel. Some of the ministries we support include local outreach, international missions, crisis care, and recovery programs. If you’ve got a heart for something, chances are we’re already involved — and we’d love to show you how you can be too.
