Dover Bible Chapel, DE

[edit] History
In about 1940, Edward and Jean Richmond were commended by the Olney Gospel Hall in Philadelphia, to come to Dover for evangelical work. They started a children’s work in a store on the main street in Dover. From that work, the Dover Gospel Hall began in 1946 at a location in central Dover. From 1950 to 1975, the assembly was located in West Dover and called the West Dover Bible Chapel. The assembly discontinued in 1975 but revived in 1979 when Norman Wilkerson and Don Henry came. The group then moved just one mile west and took its present name, Dover Bible Chapel. About 30 adults and youngsters attend on a typical Sunday.
Mr. Richmond and a Mr. Brown in the Dover assembly began an outreach in the late 1940s in the village of Hazelville, about 10 miles from Dover. A Gospel series resulted in about 20 being saved, and a Sunday School was established in an old school house in the town.
