About Us:

Chapin Christian Church organized on the first day of May , 1876.  The First sermon was preached on January 1st, 1877 and in the same year 24 people of the Jordan and Bethel groups enrolled into the membership of the Chapin Christian Church.  The Congregational Church property was purchased in 1876 and stood on the same location as our present church.  By January of 1st, 1880 there were 93 members.  Chapin Christian Church has had over 40 Pastors and 2 Timothy's.

Chapin Christian Church is a member of the Disciples of Christ.  The denomination was born in the 1800s, and continues to be influenced by its founding ideals of our unity in Christ with openness and diversity in practice and belief.

The church is identified with the Protestant “mainstream” and is widely involved in social and other concerns. Disciples have supported vigorously world and national programs of education, agricultural assistance, racial reconciliation, care of the developmentally disabled and aid to victims of war and calamity.

The denomination now counts about 700,000 members in the United States and Canada in about 3,700 congregations. Numerically, the strength of the Disciples of Christ runs in a broad arc that sweeps from Ohio and Kentucky through the Midwest and down into Oklahoma and Texas.
