Kevin Eberle joined the Grace UMC staff in July of 2024, but he’s not new to our church family. Kevin, his wife Mary Beth, and their four children have worshiped regularly wih us. Kevin offers a range of music and technical talents, and is always ready to lend a hand.

When he’s not helping out at Grace or wrangling tiny Eberles, Kevin is the finance and facilities director at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.

Nick Ashbaugh

Worship Arts Assistant

Nick wears lots of hats! In addition to being a full-time college professor (that’s “Dr. Nick”, you know), Nick assists in worship at Grace UMC using his musical talents. An accomplished guitarist and vocalist, Nick can be found regularly accompanying and performing in worship. Nick is also an avid fisherman, and when we’re fortunate, he coordinates fish fries and barbecues!

Church Administrator

As church administrator, Delores handles the essential day-to-day activities that keep Grace running. Paying bills, accounting, communication, coordination, and assisting the pastor mean that Delores’s efforts are key in fulfilling the mission of Grace United Methodist Church.
