Board of Education

Marcia Brenner (2021-24)
Marcia Brenner retired in 2016 after teaching for 30 years in public education, twenty-four of which were spent in Warwick School District. When she was invited to substitute teach at Lititz Christian she eagerly accepted, anxious to be back in the classroom working with students. What she found at LCS was a family - a staff and administration who cared for their students and desired to not only give them a strong academic background but a firm foundation in the Lord. Children were nurtured and shown what being a Christ-follower looked like. The result was a group of students who also shared that desire to help and love each other. In addition to short and long-term substitute teaching positions at LCS, Marcia has facilitated a teacher in-service. Marcia feels it would be a privilege to be a part of the LCS board, not only as an opportunity to give back to her profession, but as a way to serve God in the work He is doing at Lititz Christian. Marcia is married to Michael and they have two children. They are also the happy grandparents of 6.
