On Saturday, February 5, 2011, the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce hosted their annual Awards Banquet.
Free Chapel was nominated along with 4 other local non-profits for the "Shining Star" category.
Chamber President Laura Mitchell announced that Free Chapel had received the award! She went on to read the following description of Free Chapel which is flat-out humbling:
"Free Chapel is a young church with a lot of heart that serves their community in radical and meaningful ways! In the past year Free Chapel has served breakfast to LTISD teachers and staff of Lakeway Elementary, assisted with the community Egg Hunt at Easter, joined with LT Love to distribute lunches to kids in need with the summer lunch program and hosted the inaugural Heroes Day for the Lake Travis Police and Fire departments and on their 2 year anniversary, Free Chapel hosted a food drive for Lake Travis Crisis Ministries. Lastly, the church supports Pastor Jeremy Self as he serves as a Director for the chamber Board. Free Chapel no only serves the community locally, but is intentional about making a global impact, as well. Congratulations to Free Chapel!"
We are so proud to be members of the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce and are thankful to have received this very special award.
And, WAY TO GO, Free Chapel! You are doing what God called us to do...be a light to your community! I love being your pastor!
