Summer has arrived! One of the best things about summer in Gig Harbor is the easy access to the water. As a family we love to go down to one of the beaches nearby and play in the water. And we’re even more blessed than those who own boats, because we have friends that own […]
Shiver me timbers; Day Camp is setting sail!
In just a few hours hundreds of kids from our community and beyond will fill these halls with laughter and song as they seek adventure at Shipwrecked Day Camp. Over five days, kids will learn that “Jesus rescues”… from loneliness, worry, struggle, wrong-doing, and powerlessness. This teaching will take place as kids play games, experiment, […]

Do-nut miss this weekend!
For all of us donut lovers (and who isn’t?) we were grieved this week to learn that one of our favorite dispensers of fat-fried dough, Pao’s donuts, had been burgled and vandalized! The horror! It is ironic because we had JUST been discussing tapping into them for our not-to-be-missed Father’s Day treat this weekend. More […]
How you can prepare for Ravi Zacharias this weekend
I’m not sure the first time I heard Ravi Zacharias on his radio show, “Let My People Think,” but it was many years ago. What I DO remember was that he had an unusual, pleasing voice and that I’d hate to have a debate with him. He would speak on campuses that were famously hostile […]

When Golf Makes a Difference
The Pau Hana Golf Tournament is fast approaching. It’s an event that reaches far beyond an afternoon of fun on the Canterwood course or dinner in the Club. It’s an opportunity to show love, support, and investment in our youth. The funds raised on June 18 go back into growth and service opportunities for our […]
This is kind of a big deal!
Ravi Zacharias is coming to Chapel Hill! That’s right, the RZ of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries will be joining us for worship on Sunday, June 10. This is kind of a big deal. Actually, Ravi coming to our church and our town is a really big deal. If you are not familiar with Ravi Zacharias, […]
Delighted hearts and open doors
The beautiful, handwritten card started out so promisingly. “My husband and I attended your beautiful church on Mother’s Day with our daughter and family who occasionally attend. It was our first visit. I am moved to share how much I enjoyed your service and sermon. “ Great so far. But it continued. “We settled into […]
Fire, fire!
(An important piece of information about this weekend’s worship is hidden near the bottom of this article! You’ll want to find it—or you will miss out on something important!) One of the things you might not know about me was that I started the chaplaincy program in our local Fire District 5 shortly after I […]
Wow…thanks!
My message last weekend focused on the unique part we are each called to play in the Body of Christ. One of the dangers of being a large, well-resourced church, is that you: a) assume that someone else is going to answer the call to service; andb) that you find it easier to pay someone […]
Let’s pray for God to move!
We seem to live in an age of ever-growing discord and uncertainty. Political, economic, and social concerns dominate our news feeds and divide our families, creating hurt, fear, and anxiety in our lives. But we are a people of prayer. Last year, Chapel Hill spent a significant amount of time studying Jesus’ teaching on prayer, […]
