The Chapel at Shore Acres is a 110-year-old chapel that features a timeless look and a simple white country church ambiance with original fixtures throughout. The chapel is the perfect location for weddings, services, and other events. The chapel holds 70 people inside.

As taken from the Holland Sentinel "The former Gibson Christian Reformed Church was moved in April from its site at the corner of 65th Street and 140th Avenue to its new home across from the Felt Mansion.

The Gibson congregation built a new facility adjacent to the old church. In November 2009, the congregation offered the building to Laketown Township. The board accepted the donation earlier this year.

Swieringa, pastor at the Gibson church, carefully painted around the church windows while Emma Bloomfield and Sarah Mulcahey touched up the baseboards.

“I always volunteer,” Bloomfield said.

Other volunteers pulled staples out of the wooden floor, so the boards can be refinished.


The session topped off a weekend of work. The church’s bell was installed Saturday.

The church will be used for weddings to complement the reception business at the mansion."
