Our Chapel
Our chapel is a simple and contemplative space created to support prayer, stillness, and the celebration of the sacraments.
The walls are lazured with watercolor paints in tones of purple and magenta, giving the room a quiet and distinctive character. The interior is intentionally restrained. You will not find statues, elaborate carvings, holy water, or kneeling benches, and very little gold is used within the space.
At the altar are two paintings: one depicting the Resurrected Christ and one depicting the Crucified Christ. Together they form the central visual focus of the chapel and accompany the sacramental life that takes place there.
The appearance of the altar changes throughout the Christian year. The colors used at the altar, together with the vestments worn by the priest, change with the festival seasons and help express the particular mood and character of each time of year. Flowers and other simple elements may also reflect the season being celebrated.
During the Consecration of the Human Being, the priest wears the liturgical vestments of The Christian Community and serves at the altar with two servers. The servers are members of the congregation rather than ordained priests and wear simple ceremonial garments while assisting at the altar and speaking the responses on behalf of the congregation.
The altar itself stands at the heart of the room. The chalice used during Communion is one of the few prominent objects of gold within the chapel.
Silence is an important part of the life of the space. Before services, many people sit quietly in preparation, and periods of silence also form part of the rhythm of the liturgy.
Our services are not recorded or livestreamed. The chapel is intended to remain a place in which worship is experienced directly and together, in the present moment.
Visitors are warmly welcome to enter the chapel, attend a service, and experience the space for themselves.
