Moving to Leavenworth

Pick your church before you pick your house

Relocating to Leavenworth for work, for family, or for a fresh start? The congregation you land in will shape your family's next decade more than the street address will.

Why families land here

What you are actually choosing

Find the church first

Most families choose the house, then the schools, then go church shopping with whatever energy is left. Flip the order. The right congregation makes every other decision easier, because you will have people to ask.

A congregation of households

Families worship together here, children included. If you are raising kids to love what you love, you will be surrounded by other people doing the same thing on purpose.

Serious about education

This congregation believes children’s education belongs to parents, and it is full of families schooling accordingly. Move here and you inherit their accumulated know-how with your first fellowship meal.

Rooted for the long haul

We were planted in 2020 and particularized in 2023, and we intend to be worshipping in Leavenworth for generations. If you are putting down roots, put them down next to people who are doing the same.

House hunting from out of town?

Visit on a scouting trip

Worship is Sunday at 10:30 AM at 601 Michigan Street, in the Shiloh Seventh-day Adventist church building. A Sunday with us will tell you more about life here than a weekend of showings. Stay for the meal, and ask the congregation your Leavenworth questions: neighborhoods, commutes, and where the good pie is.

Make the first Sunday count

Come before the boxes are unpacked. The friendships you start now are the ones that help you carry the couch.
