Monday Dinner
Almost every Monday, the KRTC serves dinner to backside workers before chapel service. The Chaplaincy is passionate about pursuing Acts 2:42 community (which includes delicious food from volunteers). "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." - Acts 2:42
Food Pantry
The Food Pantry provides non-perishable and pre-packaged nutrition in cases of urgent need, such as canned tuna, Vienna sausage, peanut butter, crackers, etc. Occasionally, cooked food is made available.
Women's Ministry
The Women's Ministry works to care for women 18 years or older. By providing a safe space, the women's ministry provides biblical counseling services, Bible reading assistance, sewing classes, family visits, events, and more. The Women's Ministry desires for all women on the backside to be shaped by scripture and to become disciples making disciples.
Children and Youth Ministry
The Children's and Youth Ministries exist to reach and teach our little ones the message of Christ. Through interactive Bible studies and events, each program is rooted in God's Word and seeks to cultivate mature believers in Jesus. Children's and Youth Bible studies occur weekly during chapel services.
Clothing Closet
The Clothing Closet exists to offer the needs of men and women working on the backside. Because of insufficient funds and limited access to transportation, many workers turn to the chapel for assistance with essentials for living and work at the track--clothes, shoes, linens, blankets, towels, toiletries, and packaged food. We strive to offer the love of the Lord by serving their needs, Monday and Thursday mornings.
