Welcome from Pastor Jimm

Welcome to East Fairview! 

My name is Jimm Roland.  I’m the senior pastor here.  While having been in full-time Christian ministry since 1982, I have only been at East Fairview Church of the Brethren since 1996.  Before coming here I served as Church of the Brethren pastor in Chambersburg and in Ephrata.

I am a Lancaster County native.  I grew up in Leola, where I attended Zion Lutheran Church with my family.  After graduating from Conestoga Valley High School, I went on to receive a B.S. in the Bible from Lancaster Bible College and a Masters of Divinity degree from Evangelical School of Theology in Myerstown.  My wife and I have been married for 16 years and have two children.

I hope you will take your time in exploring this web site and learn a little about East Fairview.  Please e-mail us with any questions on your mind or to request prayer for your concerns.  Then, if you would like to, please come and visit us here at the corner of Fairview and Hossler Roads.  You will find a caring church family that is a combination of the traditional and contemporary in most areas of our ministry.  East Fairview Church of the Brethren welcomes you!
