What aspect of our church do you enjoy the most?  The fellowship dinner, of course.  Nah, but I do enjoy them.  The Sunday and Wednesday classes where you have a chance to exchange ideas and thoughts.  The preaching of the Bible as it was written.

What advice would you give to those people needing spiritual enrichment? There is no better way than attending a Bible believing, preaching, teaching church like ours.  The people are the church! Be dedicated at learning.

What is your favorite memory of Chapel Lane? The way people united in believing the Lord's direction when a decision was made to move from the Center Street location to Chapel Lane.  Only the Lord knows how that was possible. Also, when all our Sunday school classes were occupied.

Do you have a favorite Bible verse to share? Matthew 6:33   If we seek God's will and follow it to the best of our ability He will meet our needs.  

Who is your hero from the Bible? Jesus- because He is the one that made salvation possible for us.   Paul- what a teacher and example for me to learn from and follow.
