​"Community" at King's Chapel has many meanings. Even though the doors at our historic chapel are physically closed right now, we remain committed to keep our members, friends, and local community as spiritually connected as possible. All are welcome to join us.

Black Lives Matter

The King's Chapel community are allies of the Black Lives Matter movement. While the King's Chapel community and History Program continue to address and discuss with the congregation and the public about systemic racism, we also recently installed a Black Lives Matter banner in front of the Chapel to accompany our Pride banner. 
How can you engage? We started putting together a list of anti-racism resources on our website with a variety of ways to take action. By marching outside with the millions of international demonstrators, or by taking other actions while remaining sheltered at home because of COVID, God is now calling you.  Please join us.

Community Partners

Now more than ever, our community partners need our support. Click on the images below to learn more about our current community partners and ways to support them.

Environmental Action Initiative

The Environmental Action Initiative grows out of the coming together of a group of King’s Chapel parishioners sharing deep concern about the climate crisis. With the support of the Adult Religious Education Committee, we started meeting in early 2020 and continue to share information, lively discussion, spiritual camaraderie and, most importantly, opportunities for taking action at the personal, local, national and international levels.

All are welcome to join our online discussion board and forum (link below), as well as our monthly meetings which focus on different climate-related topics. Follow King's Chapel on social media or sign up for the Between Sundays newsletter to receive updates, including notices about our monthly open meetings.

Getting to Know...Zoom

Picture
In this COVID era, Zoom has suddenly become the method to stay connected for seemingly everyone in all aspects of life. At King's Chapel, we stay connected via Zoom for our Morning Light Service, Conversations with the History Program, Coffee with Clergy, Bible Study, our social Friday Block Party, and other events.
​
​ Zoom is a new territory for all of us. Check out some of these FAQs if you have any questions about navigating the world of Zoom:
What is Zoom?
Zoom is a free, popular video conferencing app for churches, families, and businesses alike to stay connected during this COVID world. You can attend a “meeting” that will allow you to connect with 1 to 500 people at a time. ​
​What devices can I use with Zoom?
Zoom works with smartphones, tablets, and computers with webcams. Individuals who don’t have access to a webcam or audio capacity on their computer can still join Zoom groups by calling in via a regular phone. ​
​How do I join an event or service on Zoom?
If you’re interested in joining an event or service on Zoom, please send an email to the host listed in the event description. You will then get an email reminder with an invitation to join a King’s Chapel Zoom event, or “meeting." To join, all you need to do is click on the link under “Join Zoom Meeting” and follow the prompts. When you click the link, a new window will appear saying that Zoom is launching your meeting. Click “Join” and the meeting will load! You then can choose to join a meeting with or without video or audio. If the host hasn’t started the meeting yet, you’ll have to wait in the “Waiting Room” until the host lets you in.
​Should I mute my microphone?
​It is best practice to “Mute” yourself (bottom left of the screen in a Zoom call) when not speaking to minimize noise and feedback. You’ll know the mic is muted when a red slash appears over the microphone icon. Remember to tap or click the icon to unmute when it’s time for you to speak. Please note that sometimes you are automatically muted upon entering a meeting, depending on what the host has set up.
Can I still ask a question when I’m muted?
Yes! You can ask questions and make comments via the Zoom Chat. On the lower toolbar, click on the Chat button and choose whom you want to go to (everyone or a single participant) via the drop down menu, and type in your question or comment.
Can I join a meeting late? ​
​All participants are requested to join the meeting at an appointed time. Depending on the type of meeting, participant entry may be blocked after 5-10 minutes of the start time. Check in with the meeting host prior to the meeting if you anticipate coming late.
Are these meetings recorded? ​
Some meetings will be recorded, which the host will announce at the beginning. You have the option of turning off your video should you choose to not appear in the recorded meeting. Please contact the host if you have any questions or concerns.
