Definition: A Chapter House is a place of meeting connected to a church or monastery.

Even in a small community of faith like ours, not all relationships can be built when we gather for our weekly Sunday meal and worship. We recognize we need other times and places with a smaller number of adults where we can go deeper with each other in sharing of our lives.

The Chapter House is one of the places of connection for those within Abbey Way outside our Sunday evening gathering. Each Chapter House shares amongst the participants facilitation and hosting of the group. The Chapter House decides on frequency of meeting each month with a goal of meeting at least twice per month for a meal, prayer, connection and support.

Our Chapter Houses are comprised of singles, marrieds and those with and without children.
