The Village Chapel

What The Village Chapel does

The Village Chapel is an independent, interdenominational Christian church established in 1898 in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and historically the first church of the Village of Pinehurst. It operates a single 6-employee campus (3 clergy, Director of Music, Executive Associate, Digital Media/Communications Manager, and Maintenance Facilitator) serving members and the broader Moore County community through three weekly Sunday worship services — an 8:00 AM Anglican-style Holy Eucharist, a 9:30 AM Family Service with Children's Sermon, and an 11:00 AM Traditional Worship with choir and organ — plus a Thursday prayer service and approximately 180 services per year.

Its ministry portfolio is organized around three pillars: Worship, Learn, and Serve. Educational offerings span nursery-through-grade-12 Christian formation, confirmation, youth group, Heritage Hall (a youth education center opened Summer 2022), and adult Christian education (Seminary Lecture Series, The Truth Project, Bible studies). Outreach encompasses 20+ local and international mission partnerships including Habitat for Humanity of the Sandhills, Adult & Teen Challenge, and Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care, supported by community fundraisers and the annual Chris Pearson Memorial Golf Tournament. Technology infrastructure consists of Realm church management software (for membership, donations, event registration) alongside AccessACS for online giving, and a 4-camera A/V system streaming all services to a YouTube channel.

The business model is donation-funded: voluntary tithes and offerings, capital campaign contributions (the current 'Building Lifelong Disciples' campaign seeks $1.4M), and a separately governed endowment — The Village Chapel Foundation, established 1994, holding over $3.8M in assets invested primarily in a Vanguard Balanced Index Fund and disbursing 5% annually ($166,685 in 2025) across six endowment themes. GTM is community-led: word-of-mouth, visitor welcome, local partnerships, and a Village Chapel Music Series (since 2014) that offers free public concerts.
