Part of the ministry of Grace Church is over 400 students who are part of MorningStar Daycare and Academics and Lititz Christian School. Over the summer we have been praying that God would lead us in filling two very key positions on our educational administrative team. As is the case with God, He answered our prayers far and above anything we were anticipating. We are pleased to announce the hirings of Mrs. Kimberly Taylor as our new Childcare Director and Mr. Gabe Pethel as our new Secondary Principal.
Childcare Director: Mrs. Kimberly Taylor - Kimberly Taylor and her husband, Cleveland, formerly attended Grace Church until 3 years ago, when she was transferred to her current position in Baltimore. Since then she has missed the Lititz fellowship greatly. In addition, their son and daughter-in-law have moved to the Denver, PA area and are expecting a child. Kimberly and Cleveland are eager to embrace the roll of grandparents and long to be nearer to their family. Professionally, Kimberly Taylor is a highly qualified leader who is passionate about service to families needing childcare. A graduate of Virginia University in Criminal Law, along with 18 years of childcare experience, Mrs. Taylor has proven to be a successful, organized individual with excellent team building qualities ready to embrace a challenge. Her skills have allowed her to recruit, manage, and train staff, design curriculum, and oversee multiple million dollar centers, simultaneously. Her love for the Lord, coupled with her confidence in her skills make Mrs. Taylor a wonderful asset to MorningStar and all of Grace Ministries. We look forward to working with Mrs. Taylor starting in August.
Secondary Principal: Mr. Gabe Pethtel - Mr. Gabe Pethtel is married to his wife, Dana, and they have three beautiful children; Logan, Caleb, and Emma (now 13, 9, and 3.) Mr. Pethtel’s desire to serve and administrate as the Secondary Principal at Lititz Christian was evident as he shared his ideas, experiences, and qualifications with the board. We were especially impressed with Mr. Pethtel’s many references. One in particular communicated the following, “Gabe thinks administratively, enjoys looking at the “big picture”, and has displayed unquestionable character. He takes a biblical approach to all he does and is a very effective communicator of both biblical principles and Christian Education.” Transferring from Dayton Christian school system in Ohio, Mr. Pethtel brings 10 years of secondary experience, including 2 years of missionary work in Romania, an English and Secondary degree from Ball State and current graduate work from Cedarville University. Teaching English, writing curriculum, discipling students, and mentoring faculty, Mr. Pethtel has had plenty of experiences that give him the confidence and the desire to join the team at Lititz. We also look forward to Mr. Pethtel’s arrival the first week of July.
The success of any ministry depends much on having the proper team in place. We are thrilled as a ministry at these additions that God has given us to our team. Please be praying for Gabe and Kimberly as they move and transition into their new ministries. Please also be praying for the educational ministries of Grace Church.
