We welcome as our guest preacher and celebrant of Holy Communion this Sunday, Rev. Donald D. Opitz, PhD, who currently serves as Chaplain and Senior Director of Christian Formation at Grove City College.

Rev. Optiz was born and raised in Grove City, attended Westminster College, received a M.Div. from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, and received a Ph.D. in Religion and Culture from Boston University. He has previously served in campus ministry for the Coalition for Christian Outreach, taught in several fields at Geneva College, served as an Interim Pastor and pulpit supply at numerous churches, and also served as the Chaplain at Messiah University.

He notes that is wife, Christine, is his best friend and that his step-daughters, Lauren and Katie, are their pride and joy. Speaking about Erie, Rev.

We welcome children of all ages in our Worship Service. At the Information Center in the rear of the Sanctuary, we offer children a “Book Bucket” with books and activities for their use. Parents, please do not be concerned if your child cries. We believe that the cries of children signal that the church is alive, well, and destined to continue for generations to come.
