About Us

Our Roots

Our Roots

The Chapel, formerly known as Believers’ Chapel Cortland, was started in April of 2014 as a church plant of Believers’ Chapel in Cicero, NY. At the time, Pastor Chuck Freeman was pastoring a church called Mosaic Ministries here in Cortland. Looking to embrace a new season of church ministry, Pastor Chuck decided to merge ministries with Pastor Jon North from Believers’ Chapel Cicero, turning Mosaic Ministries into what is now called The Chapel. Since then we have shifted from an elder-led church run by a singular lead pastor, to a more equally balanced elder board consisting of pastors, long time leaders, and chairman of the elder board. Throughout the last ten years, God has led The Chapel into amazing new seasons of growth and opportunity to serve Cortland County. We are honored to be a small part in making the name of Jesus famous in our area!

We live to connect people with God, and connect people with each other.

Our Mission

Our Vision

Our heart is for every person to come to know the unconditional love and forgiveness that God so graciously extends to each of us.

We desire that everyone come to the understanding that God loves you exactly where you are at, but loves you enough not to leave you there. Our heart is to see each person be transformed through the power of Jesus Christ and experience the freedom that he paid for us to have.

If you still have air in your lungs, God is not done with you. We believe that every person was created on purpose and for a purpose, and we want to help you discover what it is God specifically has for you.

God has placed unique talents, abilities, and gifts inside each one of us to not only make a difference today, but to make an eternal difference. We desire to unite together and answer the call of the Great Commission.
