A BRIEF HISTORY OF LITITZ CHURCH
The Lititz Church of the Brethren was organized as a separate congregation in January 1914 with 119 charter members. Prior to that time the local members were part of the West Conestoga congregation which had houses of worship at Middle Creek, Akron, Lexington, Millport, Lanes and Lititz.
The Lititz members worshipped in the small white edifice on Willow Street from 1914 to 1926, and in the church building on Center Street from 1926 to 1962. The first service in our present building was held on June 10, 1962. The ministry of the church through the years might be recorded as follows:
- 1914-1930 - Period of the Free Ministry
- 1930-1935 - Period of Part-time Pastors
- 1935 Beginning of Regular Pastoral Service
