Fellowship Groups & Leadership Roles
Eight O'Clock Circle
The Ladies Eight O’Clock Circle was originally formed in the 1950’s to create a social time for ladies to get together outside of church. They currently meet at the homes of different members at 7 pm on the first Wednesday of months September through June. The meetings are lead with inspirational readings, crafts, and games. Through the years, this group has baked Fastnachts, held yard sales, and put on small skits and fashion shows to raise money to help pay for fixtures in our church and to give to organizations in need including the Collinsville Library, Camp Donegal, Presbyterian Flood Relief, Mason Dixon Food Locker, and Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, the Ladies host a Santa Breakfast every Christmas season for the members of our congregation and local families.

Men's Brotherhood
The Men's Brotherhood began in 1952 under the guidance of Rev. Dunlap. These men of our church are loyal and dedicated to service of the Church and the brotherhood of man. Each year they farm the "Lord's" Acre (approx. 7 Ac. of the church property, using the proceeds to carry out good deeds like helping local families in need and donating to various charities and to the world mission of the Heifer Project. They also contribute to the needs of our church and sponsor the gospel bluegrass music for our Rural Life Sunday service each year on the first Sunday in June. All men of the church are a part of the Brotherhood which meets on an 'on call' basis after church whenever a need arises.

Youth Group
The Youth Group is an active part of Chanceford's congregation that was created for kids grades 7-12 to make friends and have fun while worshiping God. The youth meet throughout the year for activities including softball games with other community youth groups, lasertag, camping, visiting amusement parks, and snowtubing. Every year the youth participates in several mission projects such as the 30-Hour Famine and the Mason Dixon CROP Walk.
