What is a United Methodist Church?
As United Methodists, we hold to the statements of faith found in the Apostles’ Creed, as well as those in the United Methodist Book of Discipline. We are called to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ and to be a vibrant and vital church to draw others to Him. Our local church—as well as the United Methodist Church—is not the only church, but it is one that is well worth attending, growing in, and working with to make it better for the Kingdom of God.
Who is Lititz United Methodist Church?
Lititz UMC is a church of spiritually bold leaders, where Spirit-led leaders love to serve and grow. Our church serves as a house of prayer for all nations, sustained by God and by the prayers of believers who live a life of fervent prayer. We believe in the power of redemption and are energized and committed to life-changing redemption groups. Our congregation is obedient to the call of God and is in this world with the sole purpose of propagating the kingdom of God through the Great Commission (Mt. 28:19–20).
Lititz UMC believes strongly in the transforming power of God’s word and engages with His power daily. We are filled with disciples who have submitted themselves to the will of God, and our congregants are intrinsically bound and woven together by Christ’s love. We strive to communicate God’s message effectively and clearly through ways that speak truth to the heart of this culture.
