Scotts Chapel AME Church

Real Church Real People Real Change

SCOTTS CHAPEL is a vibrant, loving and family-oriented community in service to the people of Hermitage, Davidson and Wilson County. All we are and all we do flows from our common worship and love of God. We are able to reach out and love others because God first loved us. We bring a unique approach to church and worship. With 225 members our primary demographic is a single and working middle-class family environment, the majority of our members are between 30-65, and our next popular segment is our youth, over 75 under 18 years old. At Scotts chapel we are striving more and more to become like Christ.

It is a fellowship in which each member is urged to make his calling and election sure, and to take seriously their commitment to Jesus Christ.

It is a fellowship which seeks to make love the motivating factor in its approach to all of life.

Scotts Chapel will raise our shield of faith to quench the attacks of the enemy.
· Believe again that God can and wants to supply our needs.
· Believe again that we can discover God's purpose for our lives and to find meaning for living an abundant Christ-centered lifestyle.
· Believe again that we are committed to maintaining a strong biblical-based faith in God, while experiencing Spiritual Growth and Development.
· Believe again that the God who has begun a good work in our church will carry it through until Jesus comes back again.
· Believe again that we can re-teach our traditions and develop new ones.
· Believe again that God is able and can enable us to great and marvelous things.
Without faith it will be impossible to lease God. Without a renewed confidence in us, our church and our God it will be difficult to raise the standard of ministry and bury mediocrity with excellence. A fresh wind will fan the embers of our faith to help us establish a new AME church culture that builds positively upon the past, lays the foundation for the future and work diligently in the present. The Lord will give the increase!

Come and worship with us!

Worship is at the heart of all we do at SCOTTS CHAPEL.
Our primary reason for gathering is to worship God, but the work of the church does not stop there. We make and share lasting friendships.

We learn the needs of others and find compassion to help meet those needs. We are served during our special times of need by those who have knelt with us at Holy Communion, participated with us in baptisms, joined with us in congregational prayer, and sung with us the great hymns of the church.

Sermons by our pastor are Biblically centered, seeking to inspire, uplift, inform and challenge us to be good stewards of both the mysteries and the gifts of God. Special attention is given to making sermons relevant to the world in which we live.

Songs Of Praise

Our music program is rich and varied, including offerings by the Senior choir, Voices of Praise, and occasional music by the Young Impressions choir, and Male chorus.

Scotts Chapel Mission Statement

To grow fully mature followers for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
The principal focus of our ministry is helping people to discover God's purpose for their lives and to find meaning for living an abundant Christ centered lifestyle.
We are committed to maintaining a strong biblical-based faith in God, while experiencing Spiritual Growth and Development.
At SCOTTS CHAPEL we understand that to know the Word of God is one of the most important components of every believer’s life.
For it is in the study of God’s Word that one first learns to follow Christ and become His disciple, and secondly, learns how to apply the Word of God to their everyday life.
It is God’s desire that every believer study His Word, grow spiritually and “make disciples”. A disciple of Christ is a “learner”—one who not only learns but one who also “follows” Christ. To follow Christ, one must know and understand the principles by which one must live.
Consequently, we are guided, instructed, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, which enables us to live in the world while living above worldly ways. Expect a Change!

Vision Statement
To grow fully mature Christians through Spirituality, Education, Stewardship and Service

...A PLACE OF WORSHIP at SCOTTS CHAPEL our primary reason that we meet together is to focus our attention on God, giving him our worship and receiving His blessing and inspiration. We continue to reach new levels of spiritual commitment and seriousness that is adding substantially to a greater anointing and Christ consciousness manifesting itself in all of our worship experiences. As we enter into the presence of God we invite Him to move and allow His spirit to flow free. We open our hearts unto God and ask Him to have His way. By humbling ourselves, lifting our hands, and singing praise unto God we evoke His presence. We invite you to come worship with us!

Motto
Growing Christian Warriors for God's Glory

...A PLACE OF LOVE & CARING If God so loved us, we ought also to love one another! “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in Him (I John 4:16). As believers who live in God, we must also live “in love”. Therefore it is our duty, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to respond to His love by first coming into a right relationship with Him followed by a right relationship with others. We are proud to say that SCOTTS CHAPEL is truly a PLACE OF LOVE AND CARING where everyone who joins our family feels connected and valued.
