What is a town without a chapel? What is a community without a cultural center?

The Vail Interfaith Chapel, open 365 days a year, has served the community over the past five decades as the town’s critical center of faith, spirituality, human and social services, and culture. The story of our unique interfaith chapel is one of, acceptance, community outreach, and cultural enrichment. It serves as a place for worship, shelter for stranded motorists, and a space where, for generations, the community has gathered for cultural events and life cycle celebrations both joyous and sad, sharing stories and creating memories.

Our 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign has been a comprehensive effort to modernize the facility while preserving and enhancing its beautiful historic character. Additionally, we’re working to build a sustaining endowment to ensure the future of this Vail landmark for generations to come.

To date we’ve accomplished a great deal!

  • We’ve improved wintertime safety with a new roof that includes a snow fence and gutters as well as a repaved parking lot, featuring a heated drive, walkway and stairs.
  • The building is now more energy efficient with new windows, upgraded electrical and HVAC systems, and solar panels.
  • The refurbished interior is now more comfortable with the addition of air conditioning.
  • A new elevator has improved ADA accessibility.
  • The Chapel and Ministry buildings have been modernized with security, sound and IT/AV upgrades, and electric vehicle chargers have been installed outside.
  • Two new glass sliding doors have been added to the Main Chapel’s lower level which open to the beautiful new flagstone terraces and gardens along the Gore Creek. This outdoor oasis along the river with its benches, gardens, and labyrinth provides beautiful reflection spaces for community members to enjoy.
Help us secure the future and preserve the history of this iconic building. Restoring and preserving a space of spiritual connection and community in the heart of Vail is vital. Whether you’ve enjoyed the intimacy of a free Bravo! musical performances here or found inspiration or solace during the services of one of our member congregations, now is the moment to ensure that the Vail Interfaith Chapel will continue to be part of lifting up the thousands of residents and visitors who will seek the healing, hope, community and possibilities that come from the Vail Interfaith Chapel.

No donation is too great or too small, and all are appreciated! If you’d like to leave your legacy for generations to come at the iconic chapel, please consider an engraved brick with your family name, a special message, in memory of a loved one or to commemorate a special occasion. These bricks are being used to pave the front drive—part of the final phase of our 50th anniversary celebration. Call for details.
