“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
Revelation 4:11, NKJV
There is no denying the beauty and wonder of The Cove in Asheville, N.C.
Here are some fun facts about our chapel and visitors center. If you haven’t had a chance to visit, we hope that you too will come and experience God’s blessings here!
1. The Steeple is Really Tall
The steeple atop the chapel stands 87 feet tall with leaded copper, making it as tall as 14 Billy Grahams!
2. The Cross on Top of the Steeple is Tall Too
The gold-leaf painted cross, towering 8 feet tall on top of the steeple, serves as a magnificent reminder of the sacrifice our Lord Jesus Christ made for us.
3. The Pulpit is from the Church of England
The pulpit in the Chatlos Memorial Chapel is believed to be over 400 years old. It’s amazing to think of all the messages from God spoken from this pulpit.
4. The Pews are Antiques
The pews in the chapel, originally used in the Royal School for the Blind in England, are over 200 years old.
5. There’s a Prayer Room Beneath the Steeple and Cross
Ruth Graham asked for knee pads to be placed around the prayer table so that everyone would feel comfortable during their time of prayer and reflection. Her thoughtful touches can be found throughout The Cove property.
We at The Cove pray you feel God’s peace today and extend a welcome invitation to come enjoy and experience what God has provided here at The Cove through the Chatlos Memorial Chapel and Visitors Center.
