To build stronger relationships, we meet together in small "cell" groups where we find our job in the beehive of service to God and one another. With the integrity of the Word of God as the foundation of our faith, we have a safe environment to grow in the Lord and reach out to the world around us.Since the time of the conception of Christ Chapel, worship has been at the center of our service to God. In recent years, God has taken us to a new freedom in worship which we incorporate with flags, dance, drama, and music. God is releasing the prophetic in our congregation. He has also led us to stand for justice where injustice has occurred.Two words can describe Pastor Jimmy Hayes: humor and wisdom. These two words seem like a rare combination, but they are a "match made in heaven"... by God. Through mixing wisdom with humor, Pastor Jimmy is often able to deliver what God is saying in a way people can easily receive.
