Where it all started…

Chroma Church was planted by Isaac and Hannah Surh with the support of two other couples in the Fall of 2019. They met weekly to pray and seek God’s vision for the new church. We chose the name Chroma because it means “the intensity of color as it is illuminated by a light source.” For us, this points to the truth that people become their vibrant, true selves only when the light of Christ and the gospel shines upon them.

What does CHROMA mean?

A term from the science of color, Chroma is the purity or intensity of color as it is illuminated by a light source.

We believe that as the light of Christ shines upon us, we are our most vibrant and pure selves.

We invite you to join us and discover our true colors in the light of Christ, together.
