Immerse Yourself in History
Inspired by people who made beautiful decisions and served from their hearts, we are a friendly welcoming place that wants to keep alive the spiritual history of the chapel.
Boehm’s Chapel has events throughout the year that offer family fun and educational experiences for all. Special events include a Midnight Christmas service, Heritage Sunday, weddings, private tours, special services with historical actors, cemetery tours, and even music recitals or small concertos.
Contact us for more information on upcoming events at the chapel or to schedule a visit!
Upcoming Events
ExtraGive 2025 will take place on November 21, 2025. This year’s giving will be used to support our programs, and for upkeep on the Historic Chapel and Tying Shed.
ExtraGive is a 24 hour event every November in which people across the Lancaster, PA community join together to financially support and highlight the work of non-profit organizations. The event is hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation with the financial support of many local foundations.
This is the 7th year that the Boehm’s Chapel Society participated in the program. We used the donations of the 2023 ExtraGive to help replace the Chapel roof, and the 2024 donations for upkeep on the historic chapel.
Thank you for your continuing support of the Chapel’s mission!
Christmas Vespers in the Chapel
On Sunday Dec. 7, 2025 at 3:00 pm we will host our annual Vespers Service. The Rev. Manny Cruz, Jr will bring the message, and folks from Colemanville UMC will be leading the service. Hope you can join us to worship in this beautiful and unique place in preparation for the coming of our Lord!

Martin Boehm's 300th Birthday Celebration, Boehm UMC's Fall Fest, and Apple Butter - all on October 11, 2025!
We celebrated Martin Boehm’s 300th birthday on October 11, 2025 with cake and ice cream. Martin was born on November 30, 1725, in Lancaster County, PA, and left a lasting legacy. We also made the famous Boehm’s Chapel apple butter and had an open house for the Chapel and Tying Shed. The Rev. Joan Trout and her husband, Barry, presented a message on Martin and his wife Eve.
Heritage Sunday - June 29, 2025
Pastor Joe Garber gave us a wonderful message on Heritage Sunday in the Chapel. A pastor in the Lancaster Mennonite Conference, Joe is a former Boehm’s Chapel Society Board member. Pastor Joe spoke on some of the history of Martin Boehm and his expulsion and reinstatement into the Lancaster Mennonite Conference. Joe was instrumental in orchestrating the reconciliation that happened in 2016. We had some great music and praised God in this historic place! Join us next year on the last Sunday in June.
Thanks for Your Support to Boehm's Chapel through ExtraGive!
We have a new roof for the Chapel! Praise the Lord!
Work was almost completed on the new cedar shake roof during the week of March 18, 2024. We are waiting on one last shipment of shingles. Thank you for your contributions and prayers toward this important project to protect and preserve this wonderful historic Chapel.
The Society would like to thank Peter McCord for his drone video of the roof work at the Chapel!
