Our Journey
A short overview of Ash Chapel’s heritage and continuing life today
Chapel Founded
Ash Chapel was registered as a place of worship in 1843 and began as a small chapel serving the local area. From the beginning, it was a place where people gathered to hear God’s Word and worship together.
The Brick Chapel Building
The present brick chapel building was constructed in 1889. It became a lasting home for worship, fellowship, teaching and local Christian witness.
Community Life
Over the years, the chapel became known for Sunday school, annual gatherings, fellowship meetings and local community involvement. Families and leaders gave their time and care to help the chapel serve each generation.
A Living Fellowship
Ash Chapel continues as a Bible-believing, Holy Spirit-led fellowship. We welcome people of all backgrounds to join us for worship, prayer, teaching, encouragement and community.
