Aaron and his wife Adria have a son, Christopher, and a daughter, Jody.  Pastor Aaron received his Bachelor of Science in Bible with an emphasis in Pastoral Ministries from Baptist Bible College (now Clarks Summit University in Clarks Summit, PA), a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Baptist Bible Graduate School, and a Master of Divinity from Baptist Bible Seminary.

Pastor Aaron Jeffery joined the team at Grace in May of 2015 as our Pastor of Youth and Family Ministries and was ordained to the pastoral ministry in February of 2016. In  January of 2018, Pastor Aaron was elected to serve as the Lead Pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Adria was born in State College, PA and was raised in Bellefonte. She has earned a Bachelor of Science in Counselling from Baptist Bible College and hopes to pursue a Masters in Counselling in the near future.

God has given Pastor Aaron a heart for discipleship, causing him to see Grace becoming a place where God’s people are equipped and trained to be self-teaching servant leaders capable of leading others to Christ and further spiritual growth, a church body occupied with making more and better disciples.

In 1973 Paula knew she wanted to serve the Lord somehow in a secretarial position. Twenty-Seven years later, in 2000, Grace Baptist Church decided that there was need for a secretary. The Lord blessed and honored Paula by allowing her to be the first secretary for Grace Baptist Church. She describes her job as the “the only job she will ever love to cry at”. With a great variety of duties, no day has ever been the same. It is a blessing to be able to serve the Lord.
