Matthews Chapel has served Lochman's spiritual and community needs since 1887, when it was built of local limestone by people who needed a place to gather that would last. The simple, solid construction reflects the practical faith of folks who understood that a building is only as good as what happens inside it.

Getting Married: The chapel is available for weddings. Contact Tom Weber, chapel trustee, for arrangements and scheduling.
Fellowship Hall: Available for community meetings and events. Recently upgraded with working air conditioning, so August meetings can actually be held indoors.
Matthews Chapel belongs to the whole community - a place where neighbors gather for both celebration and comfort, built to last by people who understood that some things are more important than fashion.
