Serenity Chapel
In our fast-paced culture today, many who have achieved success continue to search for a sense of significance, for some inner assurance that their life will have enduring meaning.
It is our desire that families here will find joy, support and opportunities for continued growth along their life journey.
The original vision of our founders, to offer families a community within which the whole person can be nourished still guides us today.
Serenity Chapel stands as a constant reminder of that vision and commitment.
Moving from Success to Significance
Now through Chapel sponsored programs across our two communities, individuals and families will be able to choose opportunities that are specially designed for spiritual growth.
Whether stopping at the Chapel for a time of quiet prayer and thanksgiving, attending a seminar or lecture, joining in a small group study, or simply ending a perfect mountain day around the campfire with friends and family, it is our hope that all ages will find many significant ways in which to grow while here in God's country.
SUMMER CHAPEL SERVICES will be held in our Serenity Chapel at 9 AM every Sunday, June 7th to August 30th.
