Grace Orthodox Fellowship Leadership

Grace Orthodox Fellowship is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Rev. E. James DuBois

Pastor (retired)

Pastor Jim, the founder in Grace Orthodox Fellowship, retired from the ministry in 2018.  Since that time, he has occasionally preached at Grace Orthodox Fellowship as pulpit supply when the need arises.  With the departure of Pastor Mark Gephard early this year, Rev. DuBois has agreed to be interim pastor from April through October while the church continues to seek a new pastor.

Board of Trustees

Jeff and Penny DuBois, Treasurer and President of the Board of Trustees
As founding members of Grace Orthodox Fellowship, Jeff and Penny have served the church for many years. Along with being treasurer, Jeff has lead worship services and performed building maintenance. Penny has lead the children's ministry, sung in the choir, and decorates the building each season. They have served on the Board of Trustees for over ten years.

We believe that God chose us and saved us, both as young children. One of our favorite verses is John 17:3, which says, "And this is eternal life, that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." God continues to use the ministry of Grace Orthodox Fellowship to nurture our growth in knowing Him better each day.
Susan Lutes, Vice President Board of Trustees
I have been attending Grace Orthodox Fellowship for over 20 years and am so privileged to have been under the faithful teaching of my brother Jim DuBois until his retirement and now under our new pastor. I have been involved in the church choir, childrens' church, and the teen puppet ministry throughout our time here. I also serve as a trustee in the church. God has blessed me and I love my church and church family. My favorite song is 'It is well with my soul' and my favorite scripture verse is Romans 8:28. "For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
Buzz and Deb Stell, Financial Secretary and Trustee
Jesus got hold of me in November 1973 and put a burning desire in my heart to serve Him. My wife, Deb, and I were living in Altoona, PA at the time and were going to the C&MA church which we attended for many, many years. We started attending GOF a few years ago and love serving here. I’m totally amazed at how much God loves me and my favorite verse has to be “ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," Romans 5:8. I’ve been happily married to my wonderful wife, Deb, for 51 years and we have 2 daughters, 7 grandchildren and one great grandson.
Vicky Charlesworth, Church Clerk
My family and I were led to Grace Orthodox Fellowship in 2007 and knew we had found our church “home” right away. My true walk with the Lord began when I was a young mother of three amazing children and I am eternally grateful for the gift of salvation and it’s transforming power. In the everyday “busy”ness of life, I find comfort, balance, and reflection in the words of Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” God is our refuge and strength in all things!
