Plans are in place for renovation and expansion of the Chapel. The Chapel facility is antiquated and the program growth in the afterschool programs has exceeded its capabilities. The facility was not designed to accommodate the needs of a large afterschool program that includes a full nutrition program. Within the past two years, the Chapel afterschool program has grown from 35 children each afternoon to approximately 95. The current kitchen is barely able to meet the requirements of the nutrition program.

Our increased number of participants means that we must regularly divide children into groups and transport them to space provided by our community partners. The transition from one facility to another translates into additional time, which shortens the instructional period; additional staff; additional transportation expenses; and additional safety concerns.

Plans for the renovation and expansion have been designed by SMG Architects of Wheeling, WV. Chapel staff are always available to explain current programs and share future plans with church and civic groups. We would love to hear from you!
