West of downtown Lynden sits a tiny church, known as The Wayside Chapel. Built in 1960 by the late Jake Bovenkamp, it was moved from his home to its current location in 2005. The chapel was renovated and rededicated in September 2023 after being locked for some time due to vandalism. The renovation was primarily funded by an anonymous donor who had gotten married at the chapel.
