Built around 1910, our little white-stucco chapel sits in the middle of Richmond's historic Highland Park neighborhood. You can find us conveniently tucked away on Dill Avenue, in the shadow of the gigantic Tabernacle at the Six Points intersection.
Our chapel is blessed to be the current home of the Holy Bible Church of God, led by Bishop George Brown. Services are held each Sunday at 11 AM. See the reader board outside the chapel for more information and to confirm the time of services.
Our long term objective is to restore the building and offer a resource for hosting weddings and memorial services. We hope to pass along God's gift of love, with a focus on serving the religiously unaffiliated, as well as neighbors who are not welcomed by existing neighborhood institutions.
The future may bring opportunities to support historic Woodland cemetery, located less than a mile from the chapel. Emerging from decades of neglect, new management and dedicated volunteers have made outstanding improvements in recent years. Funds generated by chapel operations could help build an endowment to fund 'perpetual care' and secure the future of these burial grounds.
Historic documents describe the structure as a 'three nave church'. The generous sized altar includes an electric Hammond Organ and is flanked by two side facing pews suitable for a choir. A small side area described in documents as an 'educational wing' was added sometime in the 1950s. A wheelchair ramp provides access to guests using walkers or wheelchairs. There are two washrooms, each with a sink and toilet.
A fenced parking lot located behind the chapel provides ample off-street parking.
Seating is available as wooden pews, arranged on both sides of a central aisle.
A walk-in pool designed for full-immersion baptisms is built into the floor of the chapel and is accessed via a trap door beneath the pews of the choir area.
