Originally dedicated in 1911, and re-dedicated in its current location in 1937, this chapel memorializes our founding pastor, the Rev. Sebastian C. Meckel (1826-1916) who served as the first pastor from 1893-1897 of what was originally St. Luke’s German Reformed Church. It is used for special services, weddings, and meetings.
