Ed Dunnington - Pastor

Ed Dunnington has been happily married to Stefanie since June 6, 1992.  Ed and Stefanie are both from Virginia, where they attended college. Ed is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute. Stefanie is a UVa grad.

After their marriage in 1992, Ed and Stefanie lived in Tacoma, WA, where they were members of Dr. Rob Rayburn's congregation, Faith Presbyterian Church.  After serving for several years as an Army Field Artillery officer, God called Ed into the ministry.

In 1994, they left Ft. Lewis, WA to attend Covenant Theological Seminary.  After graduation, Ed and Stefanie moved to Seattle to start Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at the University of Washington.

In November 2000, they were blessed with the birth of their first child, Patrick. In December 2002, they were blessed with the birth of their second son, Hunter Madison. In February 2006, Ed and Stefanie adopted Adelaine Destiny and in July 2008 they adopted Corinne Ashley.

Ed and Stefanie have prayed and talked about ministering in Virginia for many years.  In April 2006, they moved to Roanoke to be a part of planting Christ the King Presbyterian Church in Southwest Roanoke.



Aaron Hofius— Associate Pastor

Aaron Hofius is a native St. Louisan who attended Washington University (Pre-Medical and Classics studies), Missouri Baptist University (B.A. Religion), and Covenant Theological Seminary (Master’s of Divinity) in his hometown before moving to Roanoke to serve on staff at Christ the King.  While in St. Louis, Aaron served as Assistant to the Pastor of Evangelism and Assimilation at Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church (1999-2001) and as an intern at The Covenant Presbyterian Church (2005-2007).

In May of 2000, Aaron married Andrea.  They have been blessed with 3 daughters: Aurora (2002), Amaris (2004), and Aria (2006).  While discussing and praying about ministry opportunities toward the end of seminary, Aaron and Andrea were excited to learn more about Christ the King and the church’s ministry in Roanoke.  Through their move here, the Lord has returned Andrea to the city in which she lived as a child, and has brought the entire Hofius family into a new opportunity to enjoy and participate in His work here in the Roanoke Valley.

Jake Gee - Youth Intern

Jake and Anna Claire Gee are both originally from the great state of Georgia.  They met each other while attending different universities and they dated for four and a half years.  Having waited for so long, they are now extremely happy to be married since June 20, 2008.  Jake grew up in north Georgia and spent the majority of his life in the city of Canton.  From there he went off to the University of Georgia where he received a B.A. in English studies.  It was at the University of Georgia, through the ministry of Reformed University Fellowship, where he came to know Christ and began to feel God's call on his life for ministry to young people.  Anna Claire grew up in Macon, Georgia but moved to downtown Atlanta to attend Georgia State University where she received her B.S. in Early Childhood Education.  Although she would rather be teaching children, as it is her passion in life, Anna Claire is currently working at Starbuck's where she is able to enjoy another thing she loves--lots of coffee!  They are both excited to be a part of Christ the King and to share in the work of redemption throughout the city of Roanoke!
