New Hope Christian Chapel was founded in January of 1987, but initially started meeting in office space at 448 Turnpike Street in South Easton. As God blessed and the church family grew, we eventually purchased the plot of land we are currently at and were able to build a small, simple Chapel to worship in. It seated about 100 people and had a few classrooms downstairs. But after a few years we outgrew that as well and went through a building expansion which brought our seating capacity up to where it currently stands at 200 and also gave us a roomy function hall downstairs for fellowship events. With our current layout today, the Chapel can seat about 175 people comfortably and has plenty of parking in the front and back and in a rear grass parking lot. Both the first floor and lower level are easily handicap accessible and we have several handicapped parking spots right near the door. There are 4 classrooms downstairs and a large Grand-Room with a kitchen attached for luncheons and events. The Pastor and Administrator’s offices are downstairs as well and the offices are open Monday – Friday, 9am-2pm each week.
With the unique look and character of the Chapel, it is a favorite location for local weddings, and the parking and layout of the building lend itself well to those events. We also have a very professional sound system and have been host to local coffee houses and talent shows in the past. Our neighbors will sometimes use our facilities for family events or local organization meetings and we are happy to be involved in the life of our community in his way. We desire to use the building that God has given us to bless Him and those around us, and if there is an event coming up that you are considering holding at the Chapel, please contact us today and we’ll be happy to talk with you about the details. Feel free to look at our online calendar as well to see if the dates you are looking for are currently available.
New Hope also is host to two other congregations, the Good Shepherd Reformed Episcopal Church and the Lighthouse Gospel Church. Each also hold services on Sundays and have meetings and events throughout the week. We are happy to join with them as each of our congregations seeks to serve God and love our neighbors and preach the good news of Jesus Christ. Our churches are very different in style, but share the same love for God and heart to honor Him and His Word. Feel free to visit these other congregations as well at any time, you’d be blessed to meet them and we know they’d love to meet you!
With so many things going on at the Chapel, scheduling can be tricky. So please check the online calendar for availability, and please contact us with as much advance notice before an event as possible to give us the best chance of being able to help you bring about the event(s) that you’re hoping for! We’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
