ABOUT us

Tanwax Country Chapel was a collective effort of a few local people and Village Missions, both with a desire to reach our area with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. It was born in the mid 1980’s. It met in a home, in the local fire department building and came to rest on the Mountain Highway property with the purchase of a mobile home and a 3-stall-pole-barn on just under 5 acres where it still sits today. Our people banded together to serve God and the local community, focusing on simple obedience to the Lord, following scriptural principles, and hoping to share God’s Love with as many people as possible. As the years rolled by, the property has changed. The main building was added in 2000 and the education building was added in 2008. The old pole-barn church building had to be demolished to inhabit the new education building. Things look different but our purpose and perspective remain the same.

God directs us as He desires; the people, the programs, the format etc. continue to adapt to the needs we encounter. We are a diverse group; different backgrounds, different vocations, different social, education and economic levels; but unified with one goal – to honor and glorify God in everything; to mature as believers in Christ; and to be “Good News” to our neighbors. We love to sing, study the bible, eat great food, help others to have a personal relationship with Jesus. We still partner with Village Missions, support mission activities locally and abroad, but have no denominational ties. We are not perfect, but God is (and He is working on us). As Jesus said, “the truth will set you free”.
