There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Perfect love comes from God. It motivated Him to die for us. Don't let this be an abstract truth, He loves YOU! That perfect love casts out all fear. If God is with you, who can be against you? If God is for you, who can be against you? Be encouraged today by the love of God for you.
We hope you'll join us in this initiative to pray for God's healing over our cities, our country, and our world. If you haven't already, check out the resources at www.unite714.com to get started.

Reservations are not required, however due to CDC recommendations, a member of our team will electronically check you/your family in at the door.
For touchless check in, we will be using a smartphone app called Church Center. Prior to arriving on campus, simply download the app (Keyword search Church Center) and select Union Chapel as your home church. If you are not tech savvy, we have prepared both an instructional video and written instructions.
If you do not have a smartphone or cannot download the app, we can use the last 4 digits of your phone number, the app simply expedites the check in process.
Seating will be managed in accordance with CDC recommendations. Due to this, we ask that family units and those wishing to sit together, gather all members together outside the main Worship Center Entrance prior to check in.
Due to Governor Holcomb's mask mandate, facemasks are required. Our staff and volunteer teams will be wearing masks and we encourage you to take care of others by bringing yours as well.

To check in your child, download the Church Center app on your smart phone prior to arrival. Note, if your child's class is at capacity, a family friendly area is available in the Worship Center.
According to state guidelines, “Hoosiers 65 and older and those with known high-risk medical conditions should adhere to social distancing guidelines and remain cautious at work and in their communities.” We encourage those in those categories to use your best judgement on returning to worship gatherings at Union Chapel.
Everyone will exit using the doors directly behind the stage. Dismissal will be staggered in order to allow for social distancing. While not in a formal manner, we do ask that you exit your row after those seated immediately in front of you leave their row.
