Union Chapel of Walden’s Ridge was founded in 1908 to meet the need for a summerSunday School when the trip to Chattanooga from the mountain took four hours. It has operated every summer since then. There is no official membership, and it drawsworshipers from all Christian denominations without benefit of clergy or paid staff.
Lessons are taught by lay teachers at 10:00 a.m. everySunday from the first of June until the end of August. A child leads the day’s Responsive Reading, and children take up the collection. At the end of the service, the children also ring the bell while the congregation sings lyrics adapted for them in 1932 by R. H. Williams from the originalsong Little Brown Church in the Wildwood.
Originally several Sunday School classes met simultaneously in the one-room Chapel. In 1937 an area was added at the rear. In 2002 the rear section of the Chapel was removed and completely reconstructed in conformation with the preexisting design concept, except that three rest-rooms were added. A stone patio along the side and another in front accommodate the growing congregation and provide handicapped access.
These projects were generously underwritten by caringChristian individuals, and no money from Benevolenceswas diverted for the work. One hundred percent of fundscollected each Sunday goes to support Christian works.
Weddings are often held at The Little Brown Church, and rents pay for all Chapel expenses.
Union Chapel welcomes all who will, of whatever age or creed, to come and hear the Gospel of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, taught according to the Bible, God’s Holy Word.
