Chancel Chats

Join us for new conversations with ministers, staff, musicians, and more, as they give a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of the church. We hope you stay tuned and enjoy a different perspective on the background work continuing Asbury First’s mission. Chancel Chats originally air after the end of the main worship service on Sunday mornings.
