Paul Weitzel serves as the Associate Pastor for Grace Community Church and Preacher in Charge at Bethel E.C. in Conestoga, PA. He enjoys talking about Philly Sports and wrestling. Paul will always welcome a bag of Herr’s Honey BBQ potato chips and a cup of coffee from Wawa. He grew up in Oxford, PA, so he considers himself a “local” (although Mike Sigman questions this designation).

In 2003, God changed the course of Paul’s life when Jesus became his personal Lord and Savior. From that time onward, Paul has always wanted to preach, teach and disciple others in the Word of God. He studied at Cairn University (B.S.) and Moody Theological Seminary (M.Div). While in college, Paul met his wife, Jen, who played softball for Ryder University. Paul came to GCC after pastoring in York, PA, for four years. He has been on staff at GCC since 2016 and lives in Willow Street. He has three daughters Madelyn, Carolyn, and Katelyn (a.k.a “The Lyn’s”).

doing life With Your Adult Children

Mike Sigman joined the Grace Community Church leadership team in July 2011, when he was appointed Lead Pastor. In this role, he serves as Grace’s primary preacher, while developing strategic vision and leadership in consultation with the Ministry Council. He is also responsible for the expansion of GCC’s local church partnerships, global outreach, and pastoral team development.

The two things Mike loves about being a pastor are spending time with people and preaching God’s Word. He desires to challenge seekers to become followers of Christ and to challenge followers of Christ to deepen their relationship with Christ.

His hometown is near New Danville, and his home church is Bethel Evangelical Congregational Church in Conestoga, where he began his relationship with Jesus Christ and answered God’s call to ministry. In ministry since 1986, Mike has been a church planter, pastor, denominational overseer for the US and global Evangelical Congregational Church, and seminary president at Evangelical Seminary, Myerstown.

A frequent preacher at area churches and camp meetings, Pastor Mike also served on the boards of Rawlinsville Camp Meeting and Water Street Mission. A 1983 graduate of Lebanon Valley College, he holds a Master of Divinity from Evangelical Seminary and an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Lancaster Bible College. Mike has completed post-graduate work at Fuller Theological Seminary. Mike and Jenny live in Smoketown, just east of Lancaster. They are the parents of four daughters: Katie, who is married to Brent Hostetter, Carolyn, Amanda, and Lydia. They are also grandparents to Camden, Grayson, Macy Kate, and Paige Hostetter.
