The Chapel is a large non-denominational church with campuses in Akron , Wadsworth , and Green, Ohio. Founded in 1934, The Chapel is notable for its size and its location near downtown Akron and adjacent to the University of Akron. The Green Campus is located approximately 12 miles south of Akron, in Green, Ohio on Raber Road, and opened in June 2003. The Wadsworth Campus joined The Chapel in October 2010. Currently, The Chapel is one of the largest churches in Ohio. Each weekend nearly 8,000 people gather to worship.
Although the church meets in three locations, it remains one church, with one staff, one budget and one purpose. Senior Pastor Paul Sartarelli was initiated in 2010 when Knute Larson retired.
The Chapel lives by this mission statement - "To glorify Jesus Christ and do what HE would do, obeying His great command to love, and His great commission toward the world."
