The Chapel is a non-denominational Christian church in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin welcoming people of all faiths, or of no faith background at all. Our hope is to help people everywhere come alive to God, an idea the Bible describes as revival. Revival is simply when any group of people, anywhere on earth, at any point in time reaches towards heaven in order to experience all of God, in all of them, for all the world. That’s us! Reaching towards heaven for more of God together. Regardless of who you are or where you’ve been, if you’re ready for more of God in your life, you’ve found a home at The Chapel.

The Philistines, known for their violent and evil culture, had invaded Israel. Their warrior Goliath, a terrifying giant over 9 feet tall, came out daily to taunt and challenge the Israelites, mocking their God. When David saw Goliath, he was filled with courage. Despite Saul's initial doubts, he allowed David to face the giant. Confident in God's strength working through him, David defeated Goliath using a sling and a stone. That day was a pivotal moment in David's life and marked a turning point for the nation of Israel.
David and Saul had the same desire to defeat Goliath, but their perspectives differed. Saul compared Goliath to himself and saw him as unbeatable, while David compared Goliath to his God and knew that victory was certain. We learn from David to view our problems in light of who God is and not against our own strengths and abilities. When we do this, we can have hope amid anything we face, knowing that God is greater than any giant or circumstance we encounter.
