Grace Presbyterian Staff

Rev. Dr. Joanne Sizoo
Pastor

The Rev. Dr. Joanne Sizoo has degrees from the University of California, San Diego, Fuller Theological Seminary and San Francisco Theological Seminary. Even with all that education, she is still pretty fun. She almost always loves her work, even when it's hard. She likes to join people on their journeys with God through Jesus Christ, help them find their own places of ministry, and try to live with integrity as a faith community.

Joanne has a spouse, Sam Roberson, and five adult children, all of whom are educators.   Rounding out the family are dogs Tucker and Zeppelin. Joanne has done ministry in all the "O" states, as well as California, and both of the Carolinas.
Joanne loves being pastor of Grace, a funny, vibrant, theologically and socially engaged group of folks who seek to love God and neighbor, just like Jesus told us to.

 Ken Lake
Co-Dir., Music Ministries

Ken is the Co-director of Music at Grace.  Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, he was active at St. Andrews Baptist Church, where he was fortunate to have received the nurture and encouragement of strong mentors in music and faith.  Ken has been involved in church music all of his life and sees his role as helping others to use their musical and spiritual gifts as an act of worship and praise to God.  He especially loves planning worship and working with the adult Grace Notes Choir.  Ken has a special love for Spirituals and the traditional hymns of the Christian faith, but strives to utilize multiple musical styles to engage everyone in worship. During the week, Ken is an ordained Baptist minister (Cooperative Baptist Fellowship) and holds degrees from Furman University and Duke Divinity School.  Ken has also served as a hospital chaplain and as a pastor of two churches in North Carolina.  In his leisure time, he enjoys running, being outdoors to work in the yard, cheering for the Braves, Panthers and Gamecocks, and spending time with his two awesome children, Matthew and Abby.
