Was there ever a time when a community came together with such a strong sense of purpose? Here at Evans Chapel, that sense of purpose resonates even today. We’re standing in front of a building that has witnessed the passage of time, the growth of a community, and the unwavering spirit of faith. Evans Chapel, built in 1886, wasn’t the first structure to grace this site. It rose from the ashes of a previous church, identical in design, which was tragically destroyed by fire in 1919. This beautiful chapel, with its wood siding and simple charm, is a testament to the resilience of the people it served. The story of Evans Chapel began long before its construction. The Evans family, originally from Alabama, settled here in 1845, lending their name to this close-knit community. By the mid-1880s, the residents of Evans Chapel decided they needed a place to worship and learn. W. J. Cox, a generous soul, donated two acres of land along Mustang Creek. The community came together to build not just Evans Chapel, but also a new school and an adjoining cemetery. Evans Chapel remains a beacon of faith and a symbol of community strength.
