Our Current Preaching Series
What on Earth Are We Supposed to Do?
This series explores what God actually calls His church to be and do in the world. Together, we’ll look closely at Scripture to understand God’s design for His people—how we worship, serve, love, and live in a way that reflects Christ. It’s a practical, challenging, and encouraging look at what it means to be the kind of congregation God intends: faithful in mission, unified in purpose, and grounded in His Word. Join us as we learn how to live out God’s calling as His church.

Each week I look forward to going to Flemings Chapel. It is a happy place for my soul. People are friendly, loving, helpful, prayerful, and generous. Guests often say they feel they are part of our family. I benefit greatly from the teaching of the Bible in Sunday
morning preaching service, in interactions in small group in Sunday School, and in-depth Wednesday night Bible study. I value learning how to apply biblical principles to my daily life because my heart's desire is to honor God. Our pastors are gifted speakers who present lessons in understandable, entertaining ways. Flemings Chapel offers numerous opportunities to bless others by volunteering in a variety of activities both for the church and in the community. Serving enables me to be a more productive church and community member.
I appreciate the warm environment and the fellowship of other believers at Flemings Chapel. One of the things that drew my family here was the many opportunities for children to learn and grow, which was an essential factor for us when choosing a
church. Flemings Chapel has been such a blessing to me through its members—people who are authentic in their love for the Lord and for others.
Flemings Chapel makes every effort to follow God‘s holy word - the Bible . . . making a very sound doctrinal local church and is also wonderful for any individual or family to visit and even join. During good times in my life and then over the past few years of very
trying and difficult circumstances, the people at Flemings have been there for me by praying for me and my family, then putting legs on those prayers to help in so many ways along with using their arms for much needed hugs showing genuine Christian love. This is proof that true Christian lives and love stand out at this place for God’s
glory and His worship. So many opportunities are available here also for all ages from the babies in the nursery to the Golden Servant seniors. We have Sunday School, worship service in the sanctuary and children’s church in their area, Youth Group, Awana groups for three year olds through high school, Wednesday night prayer meeting
and Bible study, mission projects and more. Wow! What a Savior! He has blessed Flemings Chapel in so many ways! Why wouldn’t anyone who doesn’t have a church to call their own not want to call Flemings Chapel their place of regular worship?
Frequently Asked Questions
The key is comfort, not trying to look a certain way. The operative word describing most people at Flemings Chapel would be casual instead of dressy. This is not a coat and tie congregation. We’d be delighted to have you come.
We usually suggest our guests drop by the Welcome Center, between our sanctuary and the educational building. You’ll not only be met by some friendly folks who can give you directions, you can also pick up a gift that our church would like to share with you to thank you for coming.
Our service includes both traditional hymns of the faith and contemporary Christian music (with a praise team). Our congregation likes both. We’ve found that there are some great truths of the faith in classic hymns. But, we also believe there are newer songs that express an attitude of worship in a way that connects with people’s hearts in the 21st Century. Most important in the songs we sing is the chance to honor the Lord and express our faith, hope, and praise to the Jesus Christ Who died on the cross for our sins and rose again!
Pastor David is committed to preaching expository messages (drawing out the truth of the Word of God). Most of the time we are working our way through a book of the Bible, discovering the meaning of what God has said, and then applying those truths to how we live our lives. David’s messages are biblically-centered, but that doesn’t mean they are dry or boring. He uses thoughtful (and sometimes funny) stories to illustrate the message, helping listeners to connect the message to life. We believe the Bible is relevant to our life and faith, and essential for knowing God. Hearing the Scripture directs our path, and adjusts our thoughts, Every message is intended to help us discover what the passage says, what it means, and what we should do about it.
Our Sunday activities typically get started at 9am for our Bible Study (Sunday School). There is a nursery, classes for children, teens, a couple of ladies classes, a couple of choices for men’s Bible Studies, plus a co-ed adult class. The morning worship service begins at 10am. (During the morning worship service, parents of babies and toddlers have the option of allowing their children to be in our nursery. For those with pre-school to third graders, we offer a Children’s Church activity during the morning message time, helping youngsters learn God’s Word at their level.) On Sunday evenings, we concentrate on our children’s ministry activity called AWANA Clubs. This is a great program that’s built around Bible verse-memorization, a rousing game-time, and incredible fun. AWANA Clubs begin at 6pm. On Wednesday evenings, Pastor David leads an in-depth adult Bible study and prayer time that begins at 6:30pm.
You are welcome to call the church and have a discussion if you have a specific question about what we believe and teach at Flemings Chapel. You can also find out much of the doctrine of the church by reading the “What We Believe” document. Because we know that’s a long document, the short answer that we give people is that “we believe the Bible.” But since there are a lot of different interpretations of Scripture, as faithfully as we can, we’ve tried to describe what we believe, with verses that indicate why we believe it. Our desire is to allow God’s message in the Bible to us direct our theology, our faith and our behavior.
