About Us

The History of Our Church

Chapel Hill Free Will Baptist Church was founded on July 28, 1995 at the Holiday Inn on Roberts Rd. by Rev. John F. Beverly. A month later the church moved to Norton Middle School and met there for seven years. Attendees worshiped from their hard orange plastic seats and often brought along their own fans in the summer and blankets in the winter! But it was during this time that valuable lessons on caring, compassion and purpose were learned. In 2002, the church was able to acquire several acres of land off of Grove City Road and upon it built their first church building.

Growth continued, and in 2008 sand volleyball courts were added to the land marking the beginning of Chapel Hill's Sand Volleyball league , a positive and fun outreach for the community. An enclosed shelter house was completed in 2013 and now serves as the meeting place for Chapel Hill's CHAOS Youth group. Caring, compassion and purpose continue. The passion for growth still exists too and the church invites you to come grow with us!

Our Beliefs

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
