Will I be welcome at Longview Chapel?

Yes! We welcome all to come as you are and join us on the journey of life and faith exploration. We take that invitation very seriously. We celebrate and honor diversity.

What is worship like?

Our services are a mix of singing, prayer, special music, and exploring the Bible together. Each Sunday we share in communion. Everyone is welcome to the table. Communion is our way of reenacting and remembering Jesus’ practice of welcoming all people to God’s table. In addition, our pastor offers a message in a style that is thought-provoking, relevant, and engaging. Each service is about 55 to 60 minutes long.

How should I dress?

On Sunday mornings, our friends and members come dressed in everything from business casual to shorts and t-shirts or jeans. Please feel free to dress to your comfort level.

What do you offer for children and youth?

Lots! We love having children as part of our church community. On Sunday mornings, we have nursery care for infants and toddlers at both the 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. services. After the Children’s Message in both services, children are invited to attend learning times focused on their spiritual needs.

Youth are invited to participate in worship, and to attend Youth Sunday School, which is available on the first Sunday of each month. Youth group generally meets twice a month, and also for a special event.

Keep an eye on our socials and/or our Children’s Ministry and Youth Ministry pages to see what fun events we’re offering to kids and youth each month! From movie nights to Bible Day Camp to bingo parties, your child is sure to find fun and friends here at the Chapel.

How many people will be there?

This varies depending on weather and the activities of our members. The 9:00 a.m. service typically has 35-45 people in attendance, and the 10:30 a.m. service has 60-80 people depending on the week. Our Chapel seats 120 people, so we are intimately drawn together to worship.

Does it cost to attend?

Nope! Each Sunday we invite those present to contribute to an offering, which helps to support the ministries of the church, but this is optional and not expected of visitors and guests.

Who are the Disciples of Christ?

We are a mainline Protestant denomination much like Presbyterians or Methodists with our origins going back to the American frontier.  Throughout our history we have valued the autonomy of the local church (congregations choose their own pastors and make their own decisions). We value study of scripture but do not believe any one person or group has a corner on the “right” way to interpret the Bible. We come to our understanding of scripture by studying, questioning, and exploring the text together.  We value the centrality of communion and welcome all people to the table. We recognize and honor baptisms from other Christian traditions. We see ourselves as a movement for wholeness and unity in a fragmented world. We celebrate opportunities to work alongside other denominations and other faiths, and we are committed to reaching out to those in need both locally and globally.  Feel free to visit www.disciples.org or www.kcdisciples.org for additional information about our denomination.

Do I have to be Christian to participate?

Our church community is enriched by people with many different thoughts and experiences of faith. Some of us have been Christians all our lives. Others of us come to this church by way of other faith traditions or perhaps no faith experience at all. We welcome diversity and believe that we can only grow by sharing and learning from those who have different thoughts, questions, and ideas about faith.

Is your building handicap accessible?

Yes! Please use the north door ramp at the side of the church nearest to the parking lot. Accessible bathrooms are located near the north door and in our fellowship hall.

What about parking?

Feel free to use our parking lot or street parking, whichever you prefer. A number of handicapped parking spaces are designated to the left of the parking lot entrance.
