The Chapel at Rippon Village, a historic church originally built in 1875, celebrated its grand opening on November 20 after a revitalization by Justin and Maria Souders. After struggling to find a suitable wedding venue for over five years, the couple discovered this charming church in Rippon, which fell into disrepair over the years but is now set to serve as a unique wedding venue and ministry hub for the local community. The renovated chapel aims to enrich the wedding market in nearby towns like Charles Town and Ranson.
