The Chapel Hill Bible Church is a non-denominational multicultural church in the university community of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This church has an average weekly attendance of about 1000 for worship with vibrant children's, youth, university, young adult, men's, women's, and worship ministries. The Chapel Hill Bible Church first met in 1970. It consisted then of about 20 people, many of them students and faculty at the University of North Carolina. Values central to the church were biblical teaching and radically Christian lifestyles. They met initially in a building on UNC's campus, but outgrew that within a few years and built a facility of their own just off campus. By 2001 they needed a still larger building, where they now meet - 260 Erwin Road, 27514. The church is located midway between Chapel Hill and Durham, reflecting the demographics of those attending. We like to define ourselves as the "most relational large church in the Triangle." We GATHER on Sunday mornings to corporately worship and encourage the people of God through expository Bible teaching. We SCATTER to our communities where we live, work, and play to minister and serve one another through over 60 Life Groups around the Research Triangle. Typical Sunday Attendance: Around 1,000 OUR VISION: To glorify God by being transformed by the gospel: our lives, our cities, and our world.
