WELCOME

The mission of Limona Village Chapel is to love God, love

people, engage our world and grow in our faith. 

At Limona Village Chapel, our mission and vison have never wavered. We continue to strive to strengthen and serve our community during this time of navigating through the final stages of the COVID pandemic and guidelines. 

With much prayer, conversation, and preparation, we are now conducting in-person worship on Sundays at 9:30AM and 10:45AM. When we gather, it will not be the same as it was before. 

When planning to attend in-person, here are a few things to keep in mind. We continue to adhere to social distancing of six feet between family groups.  And secondly, face mask wearing is now optional.

If you have a question about something or you have forgotten a guideline; our ushers and greeters are happy to clarify and assist you as best they can.

Our clergy, staff and COVID-19 team continue to provide guidance, support, care, and quality worship services and learning events throughout the week. Again, we thank you for your prayers and your abundance of patience. We are all navigating this time together. Our guidelines continue to change as case levels change.
