At Witmer Heights, it is important for us to provide nurturing experiences that lead to spiritual formation. Our hope it that this will shape us to bear the fruit of Jesus’ teachings in our daily lives. We aim to live out our vision of figuring out together how to follow Jesus and make our community and world a better place.
We provide a variety of settings to be introduced to the good news of Jesus and grow in our lives of faith including worship experiences, Sunday School classes for adults and teens, men’s and women’s gatherings, and service opportunities.
Children and Youth
We are grateful for the opportunity to guide our children and youth to deeper understandings of God’s love and truth revealed to us most fully through Jesus Christ, and to receive these for their own lives. We offer a variety of safe, positive, and caring teaching settings that are biblically based. The safety of all children is important as we follow the guidelines of our Child Safety Policy.
We presently offer Sunday School for senior high youth at 10: 45 am. There is a priority placed on integrating our youth with the larger group in worship involvement, outreach, and relationships. They are connected with a mentor to walk with them on this journey of faith.
Adults also meet at 10: 45 am for Sunday School for studying Bible passages and themes, and applying them to our lives of faithful living, sharing good news, and seeking peace and justice in this world. Sister Care circles meet quarterly for women, as well as a monthly breakfast for men and a breakfast for women.
The congregation has an annual weekend retreat and outreach opportunities together. LMC, our conference of churches, also provides learning and retreat settings. Our worship service includes much involvement of the congregation with sharing testimonies and responses, music and worship expression, and preaching, to encourage and nurture one another.
