OUR HISTORY

The Seven Lakes Chapel in the Pines has been serving the entire Community since 1976 through numerous Outreach and Benevolence ministries.

 This interdenominational Chapel was founded in early 1976 by Roger and Carolyn McManus and David and Rosa Cowans, who wished to create a fitting memorial for their recently lost sons, Brian Thomas McManus and Douglas Lindsay Cowan. This dream became a reality when Ray and Noni Scheuer arrived from Dayton, Ohio, to coordinate the building and construction of the Chapel. The original building, which seated 80 people, was dedicated on December 19, 1976.

In 1984, a major building addition was erected, and the enlarged sanctuary was rededicated on April 21, 1985. The second expansion was completed in 1998, and the seating capacity is now 280. The Joralemon Fellowship Hall, added in 2010, now enhances the Chapel's service to the community.
