Who Is Chapel Hill Christian Church?
We are a church in a box ---- We are a church outside the box

Chapel Hill Christian Church is a church in a box --- literally. We meet at the YMCA in Chapel Hill. Everything that we own resides in boxes and is housed in an ancient Isuzu Trooper that rests in the parking lot of the YMCA.

Each Sunday, we unload the boxes and load them onto a cart for their journey into the YMCA. There, we put up tables, arrange chairs, put up banners, arrange the coffee hour tables, put out information and create a church.

Sometimes, we suffer from “church envy”. Sometimes we long for our own building, for a beautiful pulpit, for comfortable seats. Sometimes we long for our own refrigerator and perhaps a coffee maker.

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 are glad to be a church in a box.

We are also a church outside the box. We are different.

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. Our minister of music, Laura Fairfax is an ordained minister too. We have a great pastor-congregation ratio.

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