About us
Welcome to The Saratoga Chapel
At The Saratoga Chapel, our mission is to make known the supreme goodness and greatness of God through Jesus Christ—so that people from every walk of life can experience His saving, transforming power. We exist to proclaim the hope, healing, and new life found in a relationship with Jesus, and to walk with individuals and families as they grow in faith and discover God’s purpose for their lives.
The Saratoga Chapel is a church-planting ministry of the East Glenville Community Church. Our story began in the summer of 1989 as a small Bible study group, and by December of that year, we began holding weekly worship services. Today, we remain a humble and welcoming fellowship, grounded in God’s Word and passionate about building authentic community and growing in faith together.
Our pastor, Rev. Jim Hale, brings thoughtful biblical teaching and a shepherd’s heart to our fellowship. A graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree, Pastor Jim is committed to faithfully guiding others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or looking for a place to grow deeper, we invite you to be part of our journey. Come as you are, and discover the life-changing love of God with us.

Our Vision
Our vision is to see Jesus Christ build us into a church whose heart has been captured by His glory and beauty having experienced His forgiveness, healing and cleansing from sin.
