Rev. Kenneth W. Foust, Pastor

I am glad that you have found Grace Church's website and are interested in learning more about the church and our people. Here's a little information about my background.

I am happily married to Barb, who recently retired as a third grade teacher at Bon Air School. We are parents to Will who is a recent graduate of St. Bonaventure University and Carrie who passed away in 2011 from leukemia at the age of 20.

Having been raised in western Pennsylvania, I was educated at Westminster College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. I was ordained to the pastoral ministry in 1983 and served a yoked parish in western New York where I met my wife. The people of the Presbyterian Churches of Allegeny and Portville, New York, taught me much about pastoral ministry and provided love and support so that we could grow in our faith and service to Christ together. I am grateful.

We have been at Grace church since March, 1996. Grace Church also is a marvelous church to pastor. It is my hope that you will find our worship to be God - directed and our fellowship to be warm. If you have any questions or concerns about Grace Church or your faith, please let me know. You can contact me through the website, by phone 724-339-9661, or by stopping in Monday through Friday, between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM.

Reitha Bieranoski, Secretary

Let me start by saying I Love Grace Church, and everything about it. You will not find a more loving and caring congregation. If you are looking for a home church, please come through our doors at 10:00am on Sunday mornings. You will be greeted with a smile and you will immediately feel the comfort of a church that cares about growing your love for Jesus and his teachings.

Personally I have been on staff for 14 years. My husband Joe and I live in Allegheny Twp. I have two grown children who live nearby. Pamela and her husband live in Lower Burrell and Nick and his wife live in New Kensington. I have a granddog "Brutus" and two grandcats "Dolly and RayRay"!

Bobby Conroy, Christian Education

I am the new Christian Education Director effective August 1, 2019. I grew up at Grace Church and have been a member here for 35 years. I grew up going to Sunday School and Youth Fellowship. I will oversee all Christian Education activities at Grace Church. Sunday School classes, Youth Fellowship, Fellowship Dinners, Fundraising events, Bible School, and much more!

I live with my dog Charlie and my two cats, Johnny and Blackjack. I love God, animals, sports, and learning.

If you have any questions about any of our programs or would like more information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me!

Kenneth McGeary, Organist/Choir Director

Ken McGeary is our organist and choir director. He joined Grace Church's staff in February, 2013. His earliest musical studies began with the clarinet in the 4th grage, then organ in 7th grade. Through the influence of the wise organist at First Baptist, New Kensington, the teenage McGeary was introduced to the church's pipe organ. It was an indescribable sound and suddenly practicing became a joy. The passion for church music took root under the excellent tutelage of the late Arpad Heutchy. His formal training culminated in a Master's Degree in Organ Performance from Carnegie-Mellon University where he studied with the late Donna Wilkins. ("One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to meditate in His temple." (Ps. 27:4))
