Leon DuBose, Organist
Leon started playing the piano at the age of 3. His mom kept at least 2 pianos in the front room. He played his first church service at the age of 12. Playing the piano is a soothing stress reliever, getting him through the roughest days with God and music. In addition to being the father of three magnificent children, one of his favorite accomplishments was going to the studio to play gospel organ for a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese commercial. In his free time, Leon enjoys fishing. He is a big fan of Lasagna, he doesn’t like to fly, but will drive just about anywhere his Honda will take him…he is glad it brings him to Faith UP Church where the Word of God is being taught.
Rev. Keitric Emory, Pastor contact
Reverend Keitric L. Emory serves as Senior Pastor of Faith United Protestant Church. His passion is rooted in the belief that we have a responsibility to care for one another and be willing to pay the cost of our discipleship as much as we rejoice in our Christianity. Therefore, our belief in God, love for Jesus Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit cannot be separated from our belief in one another’s goodness, love for one another and interdependence to make this world a better place. Our actions should reflect our beliefs.
Pastor Emory, is a native of Chicago’s southside community, received his Bachelor of Science in Physical Science from Eureka College, and his Master of Divinity from McCormick Theological Seminary. He also earned a certification in Computer Programming at DePaul University. Pastor Emory served as part of the pastoral staff at Covenant UCC, in South Holland for 8 years, and served as an ordained deacon for 10 years at Omega MB Church in Chicago.
Pastor Emory and his wife, Dr. Lakshmi Emory (a physician and healthcare executive), are the proud parents of two wonderful daughters.
