A Tribute to Tony Danhelka

In honor of Tony's amazing commitment and dedication in the founding of the ministry, we renamed our riverside Chapel the Danhelka Family Chapel. The Chapel is very special to us for many reasons and it was a special place of prayer and ministry for Tony. The Chapel was originally built in 1953 and is our oldest remaining program building. In 2021, Chapelstreet Church completely remodeled it and made it an even more wonderful place to meet with Jesus!  We feel that it is most appropriate to dedicate this building in honor of Tony.

Blessings,
