Moravian Center
of Lancaster
When the Lancaster Moravian Church moved back to the city in 2015 and started the Moravian Center Adult Day, it was important that we convey that the congregation and the center were partners on this journey. We were not only a congregation, but also the visionaries behind this amazing program that served so many in our community.
The adult day program was not a stand-alone entity, either, and the space that was used by the church and the day program were one and the same. Exercise at 10 AM each week day morning was done in the same space that we worshipped in on Sunday at 10 AM. Cookies and Conversation was held at the same tables where day center participants ate their lunch. In December 2025, after 10 years of serving Lancaster County and the clients of the day center, it was decided to close the Moravian Center Adult Day due to declining enrollment and lack of funding.
With that in mind, the name became the Moravian Center of Lancaster, which currently includes the Lancaster Moravian Church. While congregants knew that there would be many opportunities for ministries and connections in the city, calling it the Moravian Center allows for the possibility of other programs or ministries to naturally fall under that umbrella. We are always praying for God's guidance as to how we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in this community.
“The demographics of our congregation do not match the demographics of the community and we’d like to change that, not in ways that expect people to come to us, but in ways that we can really be a part of this community.”
