Get to Know the Community Action Committee
The King’s Chapel Community Action Committee, or CAC, was established in 2012 to support carefully selected community organizations with volunteer time, expertise, and money. CAC also assists our partner organizations through projects and programs led by King’s Chapel members. The goal of the CAC is to deepen our relationship with our partner organizations by using funds from earmarked investments and by increasing the involvement of members to support our partners. We hope to establish more meaningful ways the members of King’s Chapel can be of service to our wider community.
