Before coming to Grace Bible Chapel in November of 1992 Pastor Schappert and his family spent 10 years in Ireland as Church Planters with the Greater Europe Mission. Those 10 years of evangelism and church planting were foundational to his present ministry. Pastor Schappert has always considered ministering the Word of God his primary calling. Grace Bible Chapel is firmly based on the Word of God, it gives us guidance in everything we do. Pastor Schappert’s task is to help the congregation see how God’s Word personally applies to them.
Pastor Schappert considers himself a real family oriented Pastor. In fact, being a husband and father of 4 has been one of the great joys of his life. With respect to the future Pastor Steve is expecting great things from God here at GBC. God has led us into our building on Route 274 in Rising Sun, and further expansion is expected in the future. God has clearly given us the go-ahead and we are seeking to become a blessing to our local community in many ways.
