King’s Chapel offers a variety of programs and tours for private and larger groups.
While we currently offer several options for special-interest group tours, we strive to serve visitors' needs and interests by customizing programs for your group. Each program below can be modified for various ages and abilities. Our group tours are suitable for school field trips, homeschool groups, church and faith-based groups, family reunions, conferences, and more! New school programs coming soon!
We ask that you request tours at least two week in advance, as potential tours need to be cross-referenced with our religious and special events calendar.
