Nestled at the foot of the Black Hills on the western edge of Rapid City, Chapel in the Hills is a quiet retreat open to all visitors. As a special ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the chapel reaches out to vacationers and local residents alike, who look for a place to experience God’s peace in their busy lives.

The chapel itself is an exact replica of the famous Borgund Stavkirke of Laerdal, Norway. Our chapel was built in 1969 as the home for the Lutheran Vespers radio ministry. Today visitors from all around the world find the chapel to be a place of beauty and inspiration.
