*As a multisite church, Christ Chapel has central services and campus level functions. Central Services functions help avoid unnecessary duplication of effort in operations and support areas (e.g., the church only has one finance department for all campuses). Ministry departments also have a Central Services team help our various ministries stay aligned in content and philosophy across each campus, although campus-specific staff are the ones who implement those ministries at each site. (e.g. Each campus has an Associate Pastor who oversees ministry programs such as home groups.)
