Alpha Chapel

Alpha Chapel. constructed 1895. "Alpha Chapel , This name has been given the new Chapel midway between Bethania and Rural Hall. The very name "Alpha" is a significant one; inasmuch as this is the first step the Bethania congregation has ever taken in the direction Of church extension outside of herself. This new chapel, now nearly completed, is 20x30 feet, With a steep roof and box finish, 14 foot ceiling, a double entrance with transom, and six windows. The steeple, which is not yet finished, will add very much to the appearance of the already neat building, when the two experienced carpenters, who have the work in charge, shall have completed it." , , The Wachovia Moravian, January 1895 , The small chapel never developed into an independent church. Instead, the building was moved to grounds of Mizpah Moravian Church. A growing Mizpah Moravian no longer needed the chapel; therefore, it was transferred to a local farm site. , The chapel relocated to its present site in 2001 after being donated to the Town of Bethania by Mr.and Mrs. Burton Winfrey. Today, a restored building functions as the Bethania Town Hall and Office. ,
