On this day, Wayfarers Chapel held its first worship service 75 years ago on Mother’s Day in 1951! Today we honor the two women who made the vision of Wayfarers Chapel a reality – Elizabeth Schellenberg and Narcissa Cox Vanderlip.

Elizabeth dreamed of a little chapel on a hillside above the Pacific Ocean where wayfarers could stop to rest, meditate and give thanks to God for the wonder and beauty of creation. Narcissa, a fellow Swedenborgian, responded to the dream and agreed to contribute land for the chapel site. ⠀

We look forward to rebuilding and serving the community for another 75+ years.
