About Chapel in the Pines Presbyterian Church
-
Our Church was orignially planted amidst a Pine grove near the Tampa International Airport - hence “Chapel in the Pines”
The Holy Scriptures describe the church as an evergreen tree like Pine trees. And so, we named our congregation, “Chapel in the Pines" not just because it first stood among Pine trees but we were open and eager to grow, expressing vibrant and dynamic love in our community. Our desire is to be "like a tree planted by streams of water, who yields fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither." (Psalm 1)
Chapel in the Pines church has been called by God and organized to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. We minister to the needs of the members of the congregation and the Town and Country community. We promote God's Kingdom of peace and justice in the world through service to all in need and through exaltation of Jesus to the glory of God the Father which ushers in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
