Pastor Marvin Reich, Associate Pastor

Personal Testimony

My family lived at the church, or so it seemed, when I was a child. I fought the conviction that I was a sinner and needed Christ as my Savior, until at the age of 12, I went forward at a revival service and yielded my life to Him.

While in high school, I was deeply involved in Youth for Christ, where I grew in my Christian life. My spiritual growth continued as I got older – especially when I attended Lancaster School of the Bible, and was involved in intense Bible study.
