Share in Worship Every Sunday

8:20 am -  Intimate Worship

This unique chapel service takes place within the walls of a beautifully preserved 19th-century house of worship, evoking a sense of timelessness and reverence. As you step through the ornate wooden doors, you're immediately transported back in time, surrounded by the chapel's traditional furnishings. The service itself is steeped in time-honored rituals, with the congregation actively participating in the proceedings through hymns, responsive readings, and other time-tested elements of this classic style of worship. The soulful sounds of a skilled pianist provide a fitting musical accompaniment, their skillful playing filling the intimate space with a sense of peace and reflection. This chapel also serves as a meaningful setting for some of life's most significant events, from joyous wedding ceremonies to somber funeral services, all of which are imbued with the hallowed atmosphere of this historic sanctuary. Whether you're attending a regular Sunday service or marking a major milestone, this chapel provides a truly immersive experience, allowing you to connect with centuries of spiritual tradition in a setting that feels almost frozen in time.

Creation of this Storybook Chapel

On June 18, 1830, Nathaniel Armstrong made a significant contribution by donating "one acre and twenty-seven poles strict measure" to establish a burying ground and meeting house for the Methodist church. Following the construction, the building was completed in 1831, and to this day, it stands as the cherished Old Chapel of our church and holds a service every Sunday since it's creation. Nathaniel Armstrong's generous donation and the subsequent creation of the Old Chapel have left a lasting legacy within the Methodist community, serving as a cornerstone of our church's history and faith.

With a legacy spanning over two centuries, our unwavering dedication to loving and serving the esteemed community of Indian Hill is deeply ingrained in our ethos. Our rich history serves as a profound testament to our enduring commitment to the welfare and prosperity of this cherished locality. 

We are truly thrilled to have you share in worship this Sunday at our enchanting storybook service! Your presence is eagerly anticipated as we come together to strengthen our community and nurture our faith as a collective. Your participation and involvement in our growth are invaluable, and we can't wait to embark on this journey together.
