The Chapel in Drake
Still here. Still gathering. Still believing. Looking forward to what God’s going to do.
Welcome!
Thanks for dropping in! You will find the information you need about the Chapel in Drake here. If you want to know anything more, send a message on the Contact page or stop by on a Sunday morning. We are just plain folks who love Jesus and each other.
We are a traditional small church with traditional worship. Our focus is not on programs or performance, but on Jesus. Whoever you are, you are welcome to learn about Jesus with us.
A Quick Note from Pastor Dave
Do you know that God loves you? That’s the whole message of the Bible and the only real message of the church. The love of God is found in the person and work of Jesus.
At the Chapel, we understand the pressures and frustration of trying to live up to the standards of others and the expectations of daily life. We know what it means to feel like a failure and wonder where hope comes from. And we have found our answer in Jesus.
We don’t pretend to be perfect, nor do we expect that of others. What we know is that we needed Someone to save us, and Jesus
came as the gift of God’s love for us. The Chapel is home to people who just want to learn how to live in this amazing love.
We call our message, “grace,” because we have come to understand that we could not please God or cover our sins in our own efforts. Grace came to us in the person of Jesus to give us all that the Father asks of us. In Jesus, we have the victory of cleansing and the expectation of Heaven. In Jesus, we have all we need. We believe that Jesus is God and that He came to be enough for us, no matter what we have done.
Please wander around our website, listen to some messages, read words of encouragement, and know that you are welcome to join us to learn more about Jesus any time.
“God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NCV)
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9, NKJV)
“His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3, NKJV)
That’s God’s grace in Jesus!

Do you want to know Jesus?
The message of the Bible centers on Jesus, rather than the things we are expected to think and do. But the call to come to Him in faith is the way of salvation. As we learn of Him and yield to His love, He washes us from sin and does all that is necessary for us to be in right relationship with God and have the promise of Heaven.
Over the years, we have appreciated the simple approach of the Billy Graham ministry to share the way to come to Jesus. Rather than reinvent it, we invite you to click the link below and walk through their gentle and grace-filled message. They offer guidance and encouragement for those who seek Jesus. But, don’t go far—we hope to stay connected with you!

Breaking Ground for the Chapel in Drake – Photos
After years of waiting, a new chapter has begun for the Chapel in Drake, Colorado. On April 26th and May 3rd, small groups from our congregation gathered at the Chapel grounds to break ground and pray together. After the fire in 2016 and years of waiting, this moment marks a long-prayed-for step toward bringing the Chapel home again. For many, the Chapel has always been part of Drake’s story. After the fire in 2016, everything changed for us, and the years since have taken patience, prayer, and steady faith. Now, we are rebuilding our Chapel, a place where people can …
