Walking Through God’s Plan

LC through the years

Dr. Jerry Young’s vision for a Christ-centered school became a reality as ground was broken for the first wing of Lititz Christian School. Designed to serve 44 students, this initial building represented more than bricks and mortar, it was the beginning of a faith-filled community committed to nurturing students academically and spiritually. This first step set the trajectory for the growth and impact of Lititz Christian for generations to come.

Lititz Christian begins serving families in the earliest stages of childhood by providing high-quality early learning care for children from 6 weeks through prekindergarten. In a nurturing, Christ-centered environment, our youngest students are surrounded by caring educators who foster curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.

Lititz Christian begins providing after-school care in the Manheim Central School District, creating a unique opportunity to extend our Christ-centered mission beyond our current campuses and into a broader community of families. This initiative allows us to build meaningful relationships with students who may not otherwise experience a Christian school environment, offering a safe, nurturing space where children are known, loved, and pointed toward Jesus.

Lititz Christian expanded its early learning program by opening additional early learning sites and increasing access for families while maintaining a consistent, Christ-centered approach to care and education.” This growth reflected the school’s commitment to serving children and families in the earliest stages of development and responding to the needs of the surrounding community.
