About Garris Chapel

Our Mission

 Our Mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately,
love extravagantly, and witness boldly.

Searching Inward . Looking Upward . Reaching Outward

Search Inward
As we take a look at our own lives, seeking Christ in a personal way. Prayer, Fasting, and Biblical studies are some of the avenues.

Look Upward
As we worship the One and only Lord Jesus Christ. Worship must be real. It must be sincere. It must be true worship. Word, Communion and Music are some avenues.

Reach Outward
As we attempt to be Christ to the world. Both within the community and beyond, reaching out to others is what Jesus calls us to do. We have numerous outreach avenues.

We invite you to connect with God in a meaningful way that inspires you to worship, grow in faith, and share God with others – it’s what we are about. Garris Chapel Church is a community of believers led by Christ, inspired by the Word, active in the world, and open to the future. Our goal is to help you build a relationship with God, connect you with a community of believers, and inspire you to become the hands and feet of Christ.

Vision

Our Vision is to join God in a journey of bringing new life, reconciliation, and the presence of Christ to all people, and to helping each person reflect the character of Christ.
