 Do you enjoy knitting and crocheting, if so, come join our Prayer Shawl Ministry here at Regester Chapel. Our group was formed four (4) years ago by several ladies who wanted to reach out to others in the church and community in a caring and loving way, and to share the love of Christ with persons in need. The Prayer Shawls we make are given to church members, friends, family members and anyone who has a special need. Prayers for the recipients are uplifted as the shawls are being created and receive a final blessing when completed.
We meet on the fourth (4th) Monday of each month, except for June-Aug, from 9:30-11:00 in the church Youth Center, Room 1. Please call Charlotte at (540) 659-5249 or email at:

Do you need a ride to church? In an impersonal world, reliable church rides can be very hard to find. However, your problems are solved with the Regester Chapel Transportation Ministry. Our Transportation Ministry is an outreach ministry designed to provide shuttle service to members of the church and the broader community to and from Christ-centered activities.
At Regester Chapel, we take seriously our stewardship of providing quality Christian transportation to the community. Your Christian mobility and livability are our primary concern. Therefore, we are very happy to provide you with church transportation to attend our worship services.
With our church shuttle service, we will gladly pick you up for Sunday morning worship or our mid-week Discovery Bible Study and return you home. Now that's what I call Christian service! In an ever growing and evolving community of faith, we have leveraged our resources to maximize opportunities for outreach ministries. |
 The Lay Pastor Ministry at Regester Chapel provides an intentional and consistent caring outreach to congregational members on an individual basis through prayer, availability, contact, and example (PACE).
P – PRAY for each one regularly
A – Be AVAILABLE
C – CONTACT on a regular basis
E – Provide a Christian EXAMPLE
What exactly does the Lay Pastor Ministry do? They provide a “love with skin on it” relationship to our members. The Lay Pastor Ministry is simply basic, intentional caring for one another in love and faithfulness.
LAY MINISTRY HISTORY
The senior pastor of College Hill Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio became increasingly burdened by the unmet pastoral needs of his people. A Lay Pastors Ministry Group was formed in 1977 for the purpose of providing pastoral care to every member of the church by calling forth and equipping lay people who had pastoral gifts. Five members of this Ministry Group began pastoring other lay people and they soon discovered that lay people could authentically pastor, and that other lay people would accept their pastoring.
Dr. Melvin J. Steinbron, author of the book, developed this model of Lay Ministry, Can The Pastor Do It Alone? It is used in churches of all denominations throughout the United Sates, Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, and in some European countries. Mel Steinbron addressed a conference of United Methodists laity at Lake Junaluska April 1-2, 2000.
Since 2002, Regester Chapel has had this Lay Pastors ministry providing Christian caring for members of our congregation. It has also provided those lay persons with pastoral gifts the opportunity to develop and exercise those gifts in caring for others. Our goal is to provide caring for every member of our congregation through either small group network or the Lay Pastor ministry so that all experience the blessing of being cared for!
