Welcome to Country Chapel. We have saved a place for you! If you don’t know much about us, we are a praying church that believes the Holy Bible is 100% truth. We also believe in God’s power and love.
Country Chapel disaffiliated with the United Methodist Church in 2023. We agree with the values of the Holy Bible. The United Methodist Church is straying from values we believe in, so we decided as a congregation to become an independent church. we are now a new church with a vision separate from the UMC. We have a new freedom, and we are excited to have you join us. Please refer questions on this matter to Jana Bishop at mark.jana.bishop@gmail.com.
Our church believes that giving is not all about monetary value. While financial giving does help allow us to pay our bills, God loves a cheerful giver, no matter how you can give.
If you would like to give financially, please stop by our church to give via check/cash or stop by the Giving page on our website to give via credit card.
We are also looking for help in our children’s classes and the nursery. Please sign up! Experience not required, but please bring a smile! Check in our office with Amanda for approval.
The food pantry is always in need of goods. Check out our Giving page on the website for a list of food pantry needs. Donations can be brought directly to Country Chapel.
We would love for you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10am for our church service with fellowship and food to follow. We fully understand that not everyone can make it physically. If this is the case, we also live stream our services. These live streams can currently be found on our Facebook page.
Over the past few weeks we have been discussing living ready for Christ. Watch past sermons on our Sermon page! The upcoming sermon series will be a follow-up to Revival! Get ready!

Today’s Devotion:
The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
~Psalm 121:5~
Retired teacher Debbie Stephens Browder is on a mission to convince as many people as possible to plant trees. The reason? Heat. Extreme heat in the United States is the number one weather-related cause of death. In response, she says, “I’m starting with trees.” The canopy of heat protection that trees provide is one significant way to protect communities. “It’s life or death. It’s not just about beautifying the community.”
The fact that shade isn’t just refreshing but potentially lifesaving would have been well known to the psalmist who wrote Psalm 121; in the Middle East, the risk of sunstroke is constant. This reality adds depth to the psalm’s vivid description of God as our surest place of safety, the One in whose care “the sun will not harm [us] by day, nor the moon by night” (v. 6).
This verse can’t mean that believers in Jesus are somehow immune to pain or loss in this life (or that heat isn’t dangerous!). After all, Christ tells us, “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33). But this metaphor of God as our shade does vividly reassure us that, whatever comes our way, our lives are held in His watchful care (Psalm 121:7–8). There we can find rest through trusting Him, knowing that nothing can separate us from His love (John 10:28; Romans 8:39).
