| “My dream is to see Pathways continue forever with ongoing new curriculum and collaboration between Messiah Lifeways and Landis Homes.” — Connie Stauffer was the first chair of the advisory board. She also helped set up the Forward in Faith Endowment in memory of her late husband, Harold Stauffer, to support the operational costs of the Pathways Institute. |

“With the new, modern, and enlarged auditorium in the new High Learning & Wellness Center, Pathways will be able to expand its classes and have more efficient educational technologies which should streamline the program over time. Parking options for community persons will also be more inviting and convenient.” — Hersh & Norma Leaman served as volunteer hosts for some of the first classes and they continue to serve. Hersh also served on the original advisory board. |
 |
| We appreciate the partnership with Messiah Lifeways, including the key leadership of Susan Stauffer, and learning from each other. This program has become a community favorite and has broadened connections between Landis Homes and the surrounding community.” — Lowell & Ruth Detweiler have enrolled in classes from the first semester onwards. They have both served as class hosts. |
