Who Is Chapel Hill Christian Church?

Chapel Hill Christian Church is on the move!  In June, we departed our lovely and functional worship space at the Chapel Hill YMCA.  A giant thanks to everyone at the Y!  We are now worshipping at the Carrboro Civic Club which is located at 108 Bim Street in Carrboro.  We are right behind the Carrboro Police Department. We will have a "grand opening" in the late summer as we celebrate the Blessing of the Backpacks as school begins.

Until our move, Chapel Hill Christian Church was  a church in a box --- literally. We meet at the YMCA in Chapel Hill. Everything that we owned resided in boxes and is housed in an ancient Isuzu Trooper that rested in the parking lot of the YMCA. We are excited to have moved out of our box!

Life at the Carrboro Civic Club is easier. We still set up tables and chairs but we have storage space, access to a refrigerator and space for our children's ministry.  We will also be able to use the space for additional worship services and fellowship activities.

Sometimes, we still suffer from “church envy”. Sometimes we long for our own building, for a beautiful pulpit, for comfortable seats.

But most of the time, we rejoice that we can come together and create church together. Most of the time we are glad that over 25% of our budget is spend on mission and out-reach.

Most of the time we enjoy and rejoice at being a different kind of church.

We planted ourselves in Chapel Hill in 2003. Michael Byerley, Rebecca McCulloh and Michael Shannon held the first worship service in January of 2003.

We are currently served by two bi-vocational pastors: Rebecca McCulloh and Mike Shannon.  We have two musicians: Charles Bradshaw and Marla Layton.

We welcome everyone to come and worship, fellowship, and serve with us. We extend a special welcome to the un-churched, and the de-churched, to traditional Disciples of Christ members.

We are a congregation that is diverse in age, ethnicity, ability, sexual preference, and in all ways.

We are a congregation that is open, affirming and welcoming of all.
