To Make Disciples of Jesus Christ

Welcome to Ware's Chapel!

 
 
Ware's Chapel is one of many churches in the Miami Valley District.  This district and seven others make up the West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church.  We are located on a narrow country road in northern Preble County surrounded by several picturesque farms.    Even though we're in a rural setting, the congregation is forward-thinking and involved in national and global missions supported by the Conference.   Sunday School for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m.  Worship service begins at 10:30 a.m.  On the 3rd Sunday of the month, worship service is held in the Fellowship Hall with a light brunch served by that month's host family/group/class.   A staffed nursery is available during both Sunday School and Worship Service for children ages 3 and under.  Children ages 3-11 years old may attend Children's Church, which begins after the Children's Moment during worship.   
 
The Monroe Township Food Bank is housed at Ware's Chapel.  A volunteer staff serves the community on Mondays 9-11 a.m., on Wednesdays 3-5 p.m., and NOW ON SATURDAY MORNINGS 9-11 A.M. !!!   Volunteers announce that they now are also offering clothing for all ages and sizes.  Families with school-age children who signed up are receiving school backpacks.  Backpacks are filled with supplies to give them a boost towards a successful year.  If you know of anyone in the area that is in need of assistance, please let them know we are here to help.   The congregation of Ware's Chapel has been asked to prayerfully consider assisting the Monroe Township Food Bank and the Food Pantry of Wesley Community Center in Dayton (W.C.'s linked mission site) with specific items that are needed at both locations.  Please see the e-missions page on this website for more information.
