Big Chapel was a beloved space to many at Covenant Pines Bible Camp. A holy place where lives were transformed. It was hard to say goodbye at the end of 2024, but we knew that due to the structural issues of the building it wouldn’t last forever. Though the building won’t last forever – we’ve always had plans to keep the space sacred and let the memory of Big Chapel live on. We are excited to share these plans with you!
Later this month, we will begin construction on Chapel Point. In the architect rendering, you will notice the A-Frame – we will be using original Big Chapel beams for this. This space is a patio with a fire pit that we hope can be a place for solitude, cabin conversations, retreat reflections and more. Though the purpose for this space is different, we hope that the same birch trees, look over the lake and long walk around camp provides campers with a rich spiritual connection.
We are thankful for the many years we were able to use Big Chapel. We also know the Worship Center will serve us for years and years to come, allowing us to encourage campers to take a next step in Christian faith. We are looking forward to honoring and utilizing the Chapel Point space in this new way, only adding to our ministry impact and the camper experience. We hope you can check it out the next time you are at camp.
