What to expect
Something new is happening at The Chapel.
Located at the former Trinity Chapel Baptist Church, The Chapel is a brand-new campus of Lonoke Baptist Church with a fresh vision for reaching the next generation. We’re building on the legacy of this place while believing that the best is still to come.
Whether you grew up in church, haven’t been in years, or aren’t sure what you believe yet—you have a place here.
Come as you are. Bring your people. And come ready to see what God can do.
A Church You’ll Actually Want to Come Back To
Church should be something you look forward to.
At The Chapel, you can expect a lively, welcoming atmosphere, energetic music, practical teaching from the Bible, and a community where you can meet people and feel at home.
We’re serious about Jesus—but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
You don’t have to dress a certain way, know all the songs, or have your life figured out. Just come.
Music That Moves You
We believe worship should engage your whole heart.
Our services are filled with music that points our attention toward Jesus and gives us a reason to celebrate what He has done.
Come ready to sing loud, lift your hands, and experience worship with a church that’s excited about Jesus.
Teaching That Connects to Real Life
The Bible is timeless. And it still speaks directly into the stuff we face every day.
Our teaching is biblical, practical, and relevant—designed to help you understand God’s Word and know what it looks like to follow Jesus on Monday morning, not just Sunday morning.
We’ll talk about real life, real struggles, real questions, and the hope we have in Jesus.
Your Kids Will Love It Here
We believe church should be a place where kids can’t wait to come back.
At The Chapel, your children will experience age-appropriate teaching, engaging activities, and a safe environment where they can have fun, build friendships, and learn about Jesus.
And while they’re having a great time, you can enjoy the service knowing they’re being cared for and pointed toward Christ.
You Belong Here
Maybe you’re searching for something more.
Maybe you’re looking for a church where your family can grow.
Maybe you’ve been hurt by church.
Maybe you’re just curious.
Wherever you are, you’re welcome at The Chapel.
We’re not trying to create a church that looks like yesterday. We’re creating a church that reaches people today with the unchanging message of Jesus.
A New Chapter
We’re thankful for the people who have worshiped and served at this location through the years. Their faithfulness is part of the story that brought us here.
Now, a new chapter begins.
The Chapel is a new campus of Lonoke Baptist Church with a vision to reach new people, invest in families, raise up the next generation, and make much of Jesus in our community.
The location has a history.
The future has a purpose.
And we believe the best is still to come.
Ready to See What’s Next?
You don’t have to wait until you have it all together.
Come check us out this Sunday.
Come curious. Come hopeful. Come as you are.
Come experience The Chapel.
The best is still to come.
