History

Springbrook chapel was originally a Lutheran ministry located 12 miles from Springbrook Estate, and was built and established in 1897. The parish flourished through the 1990's, but as newer churches were built nearby, the parish began to diminish. The parishioners were aging and there was not enough money to maintain the church, or to promote it. By 1996, the parish disbanded and the church was listed to be sold.

Springbrook then adopted the church in 1996 and made plans to move it to the Estate. After months of organization, the entire church was lifted from its foundation in one piece, loaded on an oversized semi and driven down the road to the Estate. The church was still in decent condition, so there was not much restoration work to do, but it would be a few years before the church opened to the public. There was still a basement to be dug (which is now home to the reception facility), a gazebo to be built and landscaping to be done.

The chapel is now complete and open to the public for ceremonies. It rests a couple hundred yards from a pure artesian spring and Springbrook Pond. It feels right at home.
