One of Lancaster County’s most moving and powerfully significant hidden gems, Living the Experience is a creative, spiritual, and interactive historical reenactment of the Underground Railroad, as it occurred on-site, at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in the City of Lancaster. Those who attend are provided an honest portrayal of the experiential realities of those involved in the underground railroad…from the stories that are told, through the spirituals that are sung, and in the emotional connections that are felt…people are provided an opportunity to learn and to gain a clearer perspective on the events and the people involved with this “station” on the underground railroad.  Following the reenactment, an ethnic buffet style meal is served.

We further our ministry in our local community and in the Black community at large by using the word of God to help lead the charge in the fight for equality and against injustices done to minorities across this country. 

Hosted by Gibbel Kraybill and Hess Law Firm and Bethel AME, this series explores the history of slavery in our country.
