The North Chapel was built in 1942 as a place of worship for the United States Naval Training Center. On April 30, 1997, the Navy ceased all operations at the Naval Training Center and on May 30, 2000, transferred the property to the City of San Diego. In November 2006, the Chapel was reopened following an extensive renovation by C.W. Clark, Inc.

The North Chapel is a privately owned Chapel and is available on a rental basis to the general public. No services for worship are currently being offered at The North Chapel. Because the Chapel is privately owned, this affords flexibility to the public for many types of non-denominational services such as weddings and funerals. Because of the acoustical quality of the North Chapel and the sound system that is available, the venue can also be used for concerts The North Chapel provides seating for up to 300 guests and boasts a restored pipe organ, state-of-the-art sound system, and supporting equipment including mixing board, wireless hand-held microphones, lapel microphones, etc., and a digital carillon system, which produces the signature bell tones that you might find at a large cathedral.
