We are an evangelical church commissioned in July 2010 by the Church at Northern Virginia in Oakton, VA. Our focus is on worship, the Word and fellowship in a Spirit-filled atmosphere seeking to incorporate both our Jewish and sacramental roots. In 2014, in the midst of a Chapel Service the Lord showed Pastor Paula that the Chapel would become involved in Christian activism because of the upcoming upheaval in America. Shortly after that the Lord showed Pastor Darryl, we were an Issachar church and lead him to create the Issachar mandate which was to gather churches and being informed speakers from the field to share on the impending dangers that we faced as a nation so that we would corporately pray and address these situations as the unified body of Christ.
At the start of covid in April 2020 Jason Hershey, Director of David’s Tent asked the Chapel as one of seven churches to take a weekly worship watch on Sundays from 5:00-8:00pm doing spiritual battle in the heavenly realm on the Washington Mall during protest, rallies, covid, rain and snow. We are walking out our Issachar mandate!
