Wendy Stein Clark, Secretary

Outside of work I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends. It’s a pleasure working with such caring, kind and wonderful people at Grace Church.

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))
