WHO WE ARE

OUR VISION

Beaumont Presbyterian Church is a church family where diversity is celebrated and all are welcomed. Beaumont is attuned to the needs of congregational life as well as the local and worldwide community. Mission is expressed both within and beyond the walls of the church as we endeavor to worship and serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

We Celebrate our LGBTQIA+ Siblings!

Beaumont Presbyterian Church is a member of More Light Presbyterians, an organization within the PCUSA that openly celebrates our LGBTQIA+ siblings and advocate for their full inclusion in the life, ministry, and leadership of the Church.  Click here to learn more about More Light Presbyterians.

OUR CHURCH FAMILY

AN INTERGENERATIONAL CHURCH

One of the great things about Beaumont is that we are an intergenerational church. If you are a family with small children, joining Beaumont is like getting built-in aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas for your kids to grow up with! Adults of all ages are welcomed with open arms into the life of our congregation. Recognizing that each one of us is a beloved child of God, when you come to Beaumont you will be treasured for your unique gifts and invited to participate in the ministries and missions of our congregation.

LEADERSHIP

Jon Roller – Pastor

Hi Friends, I’m the pastor of Woven Church and now, Beaumont Presbyterian Church. Being a pastor is my third career, but the one I have loved the most. My first two careers were as an orchestra conductor and as a worship arts professor, though I also was a part-time Youth Pastor for a year and a part-times Music Pastor for 13 years. Being a pastor lets me do what I love most—love and care for people. I’m married to a wonderful math professor, Towanna, and have two grown, amazing daughters, Michelle and Kristyn.

 

I love travel (I’m at 54 countries and counting!), art, and watching UK basketball and football. My favorite food is Orange Kwachic, grilled salmon, or Kashi cereal—depending on the day.

Dr. Wayne Gebb – Minister of Music

Dr. Wayne W. Gebb joined the staff at Beaumont as Minister of Music in 2007, after more than 30 years in music ministry at churches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Kentucky.  He was a long-time faculty member at Midway College and has taught classes at the University of Kentucky.  Wayne holds degrees in vocal and choral music from Westminster Choir College and Eastern Kentucky University.  In 2008, he received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in voice from the University of Kentucky, where he was a student of Stephen King.  

His conducting repertoire includes major works by such composers as Bach, Handel, Schutz, Haydn, Mozart, Rheinberger, Holst, and Distler.  He has made numerous appearances in recital, specializing in 19th and 20th Century English song.  Wayne’s operatic appearances include such baritone roles as Count Almaviva in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro and Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor.  In concert he has performed as soloist for numerous works, including Handel’s Messiah, the St. John Passion of Bach and Hodie by Vaughan Williams.

Wayne is married to Billie Anne Gebb, director of Library Services for the Frontier Nursing University.  They have three children, big sister Marianne and identical twins Charlie and Joey.

Lydia Clark – Organist

Lydia is a classically trained organist and pianist, serving for the past 16 years of music ministry in Louisiana, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.  She earned her Bachelor of Music in Organ Performance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts as a Sarah J. Kenan Organ Scholar Studying under Drs. Jack Mitchener, Erica Johnson, and Timothy Olsen.  Her conservatory training included studies in sacred liturgy, pedagogy, music history, theory, choral and organ repertoire, and harpsichord technique/performance.  In 2017, she earned her Master of Arts from Liberty University in Interdisciplinary Studies (Executive Management/Leadership and Environmental Science).  She has performed as a recitalist for West Market United Methodist Church in Greensboro NC, the David Tannenburg Organ at Old Salem NC, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Meredith College, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Wallace State Community College and accompanied choirs at Midway University, Creekwood High School in Clarksburg TN, Lutheran High School in Metairie LA, and Wallace State Community College in Cullman AL.  While still a high school student she was the first place winner of the American Guild of Organist Quimby Regional Organ Competition and earned superior ratings from the Alabama Music Teacher Association State Piano Competition.  She has done summer organ studies with Drs.

Robin Jenkins – Nursery Attendant

Robin Jenkins has been the regular nursery attendant at Beaumont Presbyterian since 2010. We are blessed to have such a faithful, loving person in the nursery with our littlest members and youngest visitors. Robin’s consistent presence eases the most anxious infant or toddler! She loves reading books with our children—her talents for singing and playing with children make sense when you find out that she received her B.A. in Theater from the University of Kentucky then worked 10 years in pre-school and private childcare, earned her M.A. in Special Education from Eastern Kentucky University, and taught in the public schools for 10 years. Robin also led story time at Barnes and Nobles for many years! Robin is accompanied by a second volunteer person (the second volunteer position rotates) on Sunday mornings during Sunday School and Worship, as well as for special events such as church meetings and potlucks.

Morgan – Nursery Attendant

We are so pleased that Morgan has joined our Nursery Care Team.  Morgan grew up in Lexington and attended Provision High School.  Morgan is a very busy young person.  In addition to working at the Wee Care Day Care Center, they are also a student at Asbury studying Elementary Education and Spanish.  Morgan is also a cat lover and has 2 cats, Maggy and Luna.
