FAQs

What is Summer Skills?
It's a fun summer evening to learn, to fellowship, and to invite neighbors/co-workers/friends to join us. We like to say it hits both "withness" and "witness" on our 4 W's!

We hope that the fun we'll be having that evening will make it easy to invite family, friends, and co-workers who may not yet know about Jesus to attend with you. Some people who wouldn't accept an invite to church would be happy to come learn a thing or two about welding, or beekeeping, or Pickleball, or....
Can kids participate?
While we love creating space for our children, each class has a minimum age for participants, and so children under those ages will not be able to come to the class, even as observers.

Please note that children under 18 must have an adult 21 or older signed up with them.
Do I have to pay to attend a class?
Not a thing! Each class is free and offered by someone who attends our church.
How do I register for a class?
Follow this link: https://shorturl.at/Msjhq

If you need any help with registering for a class, or communicating with an instructor, please reach out to Scott@thechapelcleveland.com
The class I want to attend is full! Is there a waiting list?
Yes! If the class you want to attend is full, please send an email to Scott Vaughn - scott@thechapelcleveland.com
What do I do after I sign up?
Please watch out for emailed instructions from your teacher. We have asked them to communicate final details of timing, location, weather cancellations, etc.

You will also need to fill out this waiver in order to participate.
Are the classes being held for just one night, or for a series of nights?
The classes are being held on one evening only - on Friday night, June 14. Each will be taught by someone (or someones) who attend The Chapel, at a time and location designated by that class instructor. But the hope is that it would produce lasting relationships with others in our church and otherwise! 
Will the classes be held at church?
No, they’re happening at venues decided by the teachers themselves. So depending on which class you register for, you might be meeting in a kitchen, a local park, at the river, in a shop, or even at a farm!
If I sign up for a class but cannot attend, what should I do?
PLEASE make us aware if you’re unable to be there by emailing scott@thechapelcleveland.com. That will allow us to inform the next person on the waiting list that a spot has become available for them.
How will I receive communication about class details?
When you register, we’ll pass your contact info on to the class instructor, and they will reach out to you and the others who will be attending your class with all pertinent meeting info.
Can I bring a friend along who doesn’t go to The Chapel?
By all means! … as long as you register them. We’re especially encouraging participants to bring along a family member, co-worker, or friend who may not yet know Jesus, and for whom a traditional invitation to come to church might not be accepted. Fellowship with believers can be a great start to beginning to understand how the Body of Christ works in the real world, and can be an easy entrance into relationships with people who know and love God.
