About » Staff

Pastor Witmer was born and reared in Morgantown, WV. His father was a business man and his mother was a homemaker. He grew up in an independent, fundamental, conservative Baptist Church.

At age 10 after years of burdened doubting, Pastor called upon the Lord to save him. A few years later in Jr. High, he was called to the ministry under the preaching of Dr. Bob Jones III. He completed his undergraduate Bible Degree at BJU and has done graduate work at both Bob Jones University and Northland Baptist Bible College. He is currently pursuing a Master of Ministry degree from BJU.

Pastor Witmer's wife, Amy, received Christ in college after doubting her salvation through her teen years. She was actually baptized when she was a Youth Pastor's wife. Amy is one of the pianists at Lighthouse.

Pastor Witmer's ministry includes preaching, teaching, counseling, training, etc. He would like to write in the future if the Lord provides the opportunity. The Witmers have been in the Pastorate since 1992 as Youth, Assistant, and now Pastor.

Pastor Pritt has been on staff at LBC since August 2007. He came to LBC with over ten years of experience in full-time church ministry. He is responsible for the oversight, development and implementation of two ministries: Music and Outreach.

Pastor Pritt came to know the Lord as a young child of 5 and was baptized at the age of 7. It was in a high school chapel under the preaching of Evangelist Tom Farrell that he recognized and responded to the call of God to full time ministry.

Pastor Pritt received his Bachelor's Degree in Church Music, and a Master's Degree in Counseling at Bob Jones University, where he has also been taking doctoral level classes. It was at Bob Jones that he met his wife, Shelley who also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Piano Pedagogy and a Master's in Piano Performance.
