Village Chapel Baptist Church began as a Bible study in May 2002.  We held our first service on June 30th of that year in a remodeled barn and remained there for the summer until our church moved to the Francestown Elementary School in September 2002.

Three and a half years later in May of 2006, we moved into the old Weare Middle School on Mother’s Day. We were able to meet there for a year until the construction of the new Middle School building and demolition of the old one necessitated our move into the Center Woods Elementary School for the summer of 2007.

In October of 2007 we moved into the Twin Bridge Road facility. This began a decade of great growth and service in our community. The year 2018 moved us to a number of locations as we continued our ministry in Weare and also saw the departure of our founding pastor, Pastor Andy Dean. After an 18-month pastoral search, God brought us Pastor Brock Mawdesley and his family, who were a great blessing and help during more location transitions. In 2023, God saw fit to move Pastor Mawdesley back to his previous ministry, and we began another pastoral search. God has used this recent search to forge a relationship between Village Chapel and Weare Bible Baptist Church, and we are now in the process of officially merging our two ministries. We covet your prayers for both of our churches and for the pastor at Weare Bible Baptist, Pastor Josh Barnes. We currently meet at Weare Bible Baptist for all services, and we hope to see the two ministries officially joined before the end of 2024.
