Five years after fire destroyed its main place of worship, the Bishop Gravatt Center celebrated the consecration of its new chapel Monday.
In December 2003, fire destroyed the chapel and meeting hall at the Episcopal camp and conference center. Short on funding, a decision had to be made about what would be erected in its place.
“We wanted to make a statement about who we were, so that’s why we built a chapel,” said Lauri Yeargin, executive director of the Bishop Gravatt Center.
