About the Chapel
Welcome!
Chapel in the Hills is an independent church guided by our pastor and an elected church board which meets monthly to discuss the spiritual and business matters of the church.
Reverend Doctor Michael Massar
Mike is a West Texas native, having been raised in Midland and Odessa before attending Baylor University, where he met his wife, Lisa, an early childhood specialist. They have three grown children and six grandchildren.
His formal education includes Baylor, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mansfield College of Oxford University, and the Graduate Theological Foundation of Notre Dame where he completed a Doctor of Ministries degree in ecumenical studies. In addition, he enjoyed a sabbatical study at the University of California’s School of Cinematic Arts focusing on the art of narrative storytelling.

As Mike has gotten to know our congregation, he has expressed his gratitude for the history and legacy of the Chapel in the Hills and the lives it impacts through its wide array of ministries in our community, and he is just as inspired in anticipating our future together

Chapel in the Hills honors its foundation as a Community Church by active participation with community organizations and hosting community events. Our doors are always open for those who seek fellowship, a way to make a difference in the world in which we live and to strengthen the ties that bind us one to another.
