Our Church began in 1889 with a congregation of 19 members. We met in a location near Wessinger’s Cross Roads, just outside of Chapin. In 1892 we moved to Chapin, meeting in a small wooden church. This small original wooden structure was damaged beyond repair by a tornado in 1936. But our faithful membership, of about 40, kept the church alive and shortly thereafter rebuilt in our original Chapin location. It stands today as Chapin Community Church just up the street from our present location.
Our church showed modest growth from the 1940’s through the late 1960’s. Then a tremendous growth period began as people moved to the area to enjoy Lake Murray. We welcomed our new neighbors and community members to connect, grow and share the love of Jesus Christ. Today we are a church family of over 1500 members. We meet in worship, prayer, bible study and fellowship just a short distance from our original Chapin location.
