As summer approaches, your generous support of the Chapel Rock Campership Fund ensures that no child is turned away due to lack of funds. Chapel Rock is a place where campers experience the love of Jesus Christ, build lasting friendships, and strengthen their faith. With activities like team-building, adventures at the lake, and campfire laughter, it’s a place of spiritual growth and lasting memories.

We aim to fully fund five camperships through our Pass the Plate event on March 8. Donations can be made online, by check (memo “Chapel Rock”), or in the offering plate. Your support will help send a child to camp this summer, creating a life-changing experience filled with faith and friendship.
