Opportunities For Growth
On May 25, 2006, the church structure had a massive fire which consumed the original sanctuary and much of our Christian Education area. On Sunday, June 22, 2008, we celebrated the completion of the new facility with Bishop Ron Ramsey overseeing our Dedication Service. Over the past year, we have been able to expand our ministry to children and adults with this added room, and we have revamped our nursery area and use to keep things happier and safer for our children and their parents.
Here's a quick tour of what you will find available now at Jerusalem Chapel:
On the lower level of the new building you will find restrooms, several nursery areas, our church library, our associate pastors' studies (Pastor Matt & Pastor Todd) along with a large conference room. On the upper level there are four nice classrooms for children which are all theme-colored and inviting for the boys and girls to come and learn together. Also, on this floor is a large conference room which is most often used for our Noah's Park Ministry (mid-week outreach to children), but is also now being used for Junior Church and additional activities.
In the foyer area of the church (separating the sanctuary and the Christian education areas) you will find a new 'Welcome Area' where information is made available for special events. There is also a live-feed video in this area for anyone who finds themselves waiting in the foyer before/after a worship service. There is a fully-functional elevator that is available from the main foyer area of the church which accesses both the lower and upper level of this new facility. The original 'lift' is still also available in the foyer area which gives access to the fellowship hall area of the sanctuary structure.
The Jerusalem Chapel family is represented by individuals of all ages who travel less than a block to get to church each week - or over an hour one way - to share in a special community atmosphere. We encourage you to take a peek around our website as it is just one avenue we offer to help you feel more at home with what we currently have to offer, while also directing you to options for the future. Plus, you will find lots of important information about why we exist, what we have to offer you and how you can join in and become an active part of our service to our church family, our community and to those around the world. We look forward to sharing with you in the future!
Blended Worship

Mission Minded
We are constantly striving to reach out with prayer support and financial support to both local and foreign mission endeavors.
Prayer Based
We focus strongly on the need to make prayer an integral element in all we do - personally, corporately and globally.
