Description of Organization

The Granville Chapel is a particularized church plant (2010) that began in 2005 by God’s grace and for His glory to serve the people in Granville and Newark, Ohio and the students at Denison University. As entrusted to us by God, our vision is to glorify God by sharing our lives and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with our community while standing firmly on God’s Word (1 Thessalonians 2:8). While we are a church belonging to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), our church body is composed of people from varied theological and denominational backgrounds.

Our senior pastor, Dan Layman, has been with us since 2018. In the time since, The Granville Chapel has seen steady growth, both spiritually and numerically. Many young families especially have been drawn to the Chapel due to its unapologetic commitment to teaching Biblical truth and genuine, caring fellowship. Because of the continued growth, we are now seeking an associate pastor to help share the blessing of a growing ministry and to provide leadership and vision to strengthen our ministries to children and youth along with their parents.
