Assessment

Grace Church Lititz is a Charis Fellowship church (formerly Grace Brethren), NOT EFCA as originally listed. Address also differs. The Charis Fellowship is an evangelical denomination with Brethren roots, emphasizing biblical authority, the ordinances (including feet washing traditionally), and evangelical mission. Generally conservative. Led by 'Dan' (Lead Pastor — full name not found) with Mike Coarson as Executive Pastor. Two Sunday services. Need to verify pastor's full name and theological specifics locally. Promising evangelical church.
