The Chapman Memorial Tabernacle is� one of the most beautiful and well-maintained churches in our community.
� It is located about just off Route 10 ,up Big Harts Creek, at the West Fork junction.
� When Harts High School was expanding its facilities in the 1960s, junior high� classes were held in the basement of the Tabernacle .
�� The Harts Tabernacle is named for L.W. Chapman. He perhaps played one of the most important roles in the church history. However, the church has� had several significant� persons involved in some aspect of the church : Rev.Oscar Dillon , Rev. Rosco Lacy , Rev. L. Sowards, Rev. Truman Stevenson, Rev.B.L Pridemore, Rev. Wayne Damron, Rev. L.W. Langton, Rev. Oliver Privett, Rev. Elijah Pauley, Rev. A.J. Rakes , Rev. Virgil Neace, Rev. S. M Mullins, Rev. W. M. Sperry, Rev. Woodrow Lawson, Rev. Rosco Bias, Rev. Andrew Adkins, and Rev. Emmit Riggs , Rev. Roy Adkins, and� Rev. Arthur Fry� and� Rev.K. Mead.
�� Although there have been,in the history of the church, many pastors�� with� a variety of beliefs and faiths, the church has consistantly remained one of the� most steadfast� in attendance.
��� The Tabernacle is a beautiful red brick church with a large basement. It has been the host� for many funerals , weddings, and baptisms. It is one of the corner stones in our community.
