Amelia Plantation Chapel

About this church

Amelia Plantation Chapel offers a traditional service Sunday at 9 a.m. and contemporary worship at 11:15, with coffee fellowship between them at 10. Located under live oaks beside Red Maple Lake on Amelia Island, the chapel is intentionally convenient for both residents and travelers. Its visitor guide describes a congregation made up each week of year-round residents, seasonal residents, and vacationers, with easy access from nearby parts of the resort community. The setting is open for worship, prayer, quiet reflection, and renewal, and a livestream is available for people who cannot attend in person.

The congregation began in 1974 when resort employees and early property owners from several Christian traditions gathered wherever space was available. Sunday services moved among an Orvis shop, the Amelia Inn, and the Beach Club, led by pastors from area churches; Bibles and hymnals traveled in a rolling wooden chest nicknamed `the Ark.` A permanent site was deliberately chosen outside residential entry gates so the chapel could welcome the wider community. That interdenominational beginning continues in a mission centered on worship, Scripture, witness, and service. Beyond Sunday, the chapel offers weekly Bible studies, short pastor-led classes, social gatherings, small Chapel Tables, volunteer opportunities, and seasonal Easter and Christmas programs.
