History & Current
The Chapel’s roots trace back to the 1930s, when a businessman named Tom Allen started a youth outreach in a vacant chapel on Jacksonville Road in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. This growing movement was soon incorporated as Jacksonville Chapel, a church that built on its youth ministry to begin serving all generations. In a culture where people were increasingly left cold by the formality of traditional religion, Jacksonville Chapel became known as a different kind of church—one that embraced historic Christianity in a way that people could grasp and live out in practical ways.
More than 80 years later, The Chapel has never lost its emphasis on serving the next generation and approaching faith in practical ways. But The Chapel has now grown into a thriving church community that meets in Lincoln Park, Wayne, and Online. The Chapel has a rich history, and we’re confident that our best days are ahead.
