Warfel Construction Launches 115 Years of Gratitude Campaign in Celebration of Milestone Anniversary

East Petersburg, PA – Warfel Construction is proud to announce the launch of its 115 Years of Gratitude campaign, celebrating 115 years of building relationships, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Founded in 1911 and headquartered in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Warfel has spent more than a century serving clients and communities through a people-first approach centered around trust, collaboration, and its long-standing mission of building Clients for Life.

A Campaign Centered Around Gratitude

The campaign officially launches with a new brand video and storytelling initiative focused on the people behind Warfel’s journey — including employees, clients, trade partners, and community members who have helped shape the company’s story over generations.

“As we reflect on our history, we recognize that this milestone is not just about the buildings we’ve constructed — it’s about the relationships built along the way,” said Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction. “We’re incredibly grateful to the people who have trusted, partnered with, and grown alongside us throughout our journey.”

Growing with Purpose

Over the last several years, Warfel has continued to grow strategically while remaining grounded in the values that have defined the company for generations. The company expanded its regional presence with the addition of its Paoli office in 2019, its Winchester, Virginia, office in 2022, and, most recently, its State College office in 2024 — allowing Warfel to better serve clients and communities across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Alongside this growth, Warfel has continued investing in its people, strengthening its safety culture, and expanding its senior leadership team with leaders representing all areas of the business to support the company’s long-term vision and strategic direction.

Throughout its history, Warfel has remained resilient through defining moments that shaped both the industry and the communities it serves — including the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic — navigating challenges together through collaboration, adaptability, and a continued commitment to its people and partners.

As the company grows, its commitment remains the same: to ensure every client experience reflects the care, consistency, and integrity that define the Warfel experience.

Honoring the Past While Building the Future

The 115 Years of Gratitude campaign will continue throughout the year with a series of stories, videos, employee spotlights, community features, and partnership highlights that celebrate the people and relationships behind Warfel’s legacy.

The campaign also coincides with America’s 250th anniversary celebration, reinforcing Warfel’s connection to more than a century of growth, progress, and community-building.

“While we’re proud of where we’ve been, we’re even more excited about where we’re going,” said Matt Hartzler, CEO of Warfel Construction. “This campaign is ultimately about gratitude — and about continuing to build meaningful relationships for generations to come.”

Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church Celebrates Wall Signing

A Meaningful Moment During the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church Renovation in Winchester, VA

On Wednesday, May 6, members of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church gathered at their historic church renovation project in Winchester, Virginia, to leave their mark on a space that has served generations of worshippers and will continue to support the community for years to come.

As part of the ongoing renovation of the church’s communal spaces and offices, representatives from the congregation council, church staff, and the renovation task group participated in a special wall-signing ceremony. The event included a prayer and blessing for the renovation project, guided tours of construction progress, and an opportunity for attendees to write messages directly on the walls before the next phase of construction begins.

For a congregation with roots dating back to 1753, the event represented more than a construction milestone. Every signature, prayer, and handwritten message became part of the church’s ongoing story — preserved within the walls of a historic space shaped by faith, community, and connection for more than 270 years.

Preserving the History and Legacy of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church

The wall-signing ceremony followed another meaningful project milestone, completed earlier this year. In March, Warfel Construction partnered with Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church to place a time capsule within the building renovation.

The time capsule contains messages, prayers, and reflections from current members of the congregation, preserving a snapshot of today’s church community for future generations.

Together, the wall signing and time capsule installation highlight the deeper purpose behind the renovation project. Beyond updating and improving the church facility, the project honors the people, traditions, and shared experiences that have shaped Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church throughout its long history in Winchester, Virginia.

A Personal Connection to the Church Renovation Project

For Warfel Construction Project Manager David Betz, the church renovation project also carries personal meaning.

David attended Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church with his family as a child. Eighteen years later, he returned with his wife and nine-month-old daughter for an Ash Wednesday service, reconnecting with a church community that continues to make people feel welcome.

Today, David is proud to help lead the renovation project, contributing to the preservation and future of a church that has impacted so many lives across generations.
