New to town? Welcome to Chapin, SC, one of 14 municipalities in Lexington County. Mt. Horeb Lutheran Church is located in a community in downtown Chapin, in the center of our state. Our community is home to every amenity you’d expect of a major metropolitan area, not to mention a spectacular 50,000 acre lake. We're also just a couple of hours from South Carolina's world-famous beaches and the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Getting to either area is no problem. Three interstate highways intersect nearby — I-20, I-26 and I-77, with I-85 and I-95 just an hour's drive away.

More than 583,000 people call the Columbia/Chapin/Lexington area their home, a number expected to increase to 650,000 by the year 2010, and to one million by 2025. According to the Census Bureau, 50.4% of the population here is male, 49.6% is female. The median age is 33 years. The most recent Central Midlands Council of Governments Demographic Summary Report indicates that within a five-mile radius around Chapin, there was a population of 11,351 in 2001. Within a 15-mile ring, the population was 125,765 in 2001. Median household income was $55,661 within five miles and $53,290 within 15 miles.

Chapin is a "hot spot" for residential and commercial development, due in part not only because of its location and home-town atmosphere, but also because of the outstanding school district that incorporates Chapin schools. In the 2007-08 school year, district students earned the highest average score on the SAT in the state.
