We are delighted you would like to have your wedding at the Longboat Island Chapel. We are an Interfaith Community Church and offer our services to all people without regard to religious affiliation. Our ministry embraces those who are marrying with different faith backgrounds, as well as those who are remarrying and want a Church ceremony.

We are a full-service Church with several lovely settings for any wedding and hope we can be of service to you. Our Senior Minister, or one of our affiliated ministers, offer their services to officiate at weddings in one of these settings — or away from the Chapel as well. One of our Chapel ministers must officiate at all wedding ceremonies held at the Chapel.

Rev. Dr. Kenneth L. Gill

Ken’s approach to spirituality is inclusive, holistic, and eclectic. He believes that ministering to the “whole person” includes addressing not only their spiritual, but their physical, emotional, and psychological needs as well. In his various parishes, Ken has initiated and developed community based lay outreach programs including after school enrichment and latch key programs for children, teen mother mentoring programs, lay counseling training programs, divorce recovery groups, prison outreach programs and senior friendship, and support programs.

Although a Christian by choice, Ken highly values the insights and wisdom of other religious traditions and the interfaith approach represented at the Longboat Island Chapel which embraces truth wherever it is found. He likes to tell people, “Wherever you’re at on your spiritual journey, there is a place at the Chapel for you.
