Meet the Team
Rev. Jeff Fox-Kline
Pastor
Jeff Fox-Kline joined us in the fall of 2022. A midwestern native, Jeff has lived in Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He received his Master of Divinity degree from McCormick Theological Seminary in 2013, was ordained in 2014, and is excited to share his passion for compassionate and collaborative ministry with the congregation at Twelve Corners Presbyterian Church. Jeff has previously served in two congregations, one in Pottstown, Pennsylvania and the other in Madison, Wisconsin. As the pastor, Jeff can be found: in his office, at the hospital, at individuals’ homes, at the coffee shop, out to lunch (literally, not figuratively), in the pulpit, or around in the community. He believes that the Church is at its best when it is a place where we can create strong bonds and use those bonds to serve God through loving our neighbor. Jeff and his family (wife, daughter, and cat) enjoy exploring new neighborhoods and restaurants, knitting, baking, and spending time reading together. He loves to spend time at a restaurant or over a cup of coffee so if you have any questions or just want to get together, email or call him.

Music Director
Ivanka has a Masters of Music in Piano Performance, a Masters of Music in Music Theory Pedagogy, and a Doctorate of Piano Performance and Literature, all from the Eastman School of Music. She also has more than 20 years of experience as a church musician, many of those years in Presbyterian churches in NY and NJ playing piano, organ, directing church choirs, and directing church bell choirs. Ivanka lives with her two teenage children in Victor.
Kelly Sabetta
Communications Manager
Kelly joined our staff in September 2020 as our Office Administrator and Communications Manager. Throughout the years, she’s helped our church through a number of transitions, including the pandemic, and continues to show her support in many ways. Whether it’s organizing office operations, publishing content online and in print, or contributing to our missions, she’s dedicated to our congregation and is always happy to help. As Communications Manager, Kelly designs and publishes our weekly news blast and monthly newsletter, manages our website, social media, and online presence, and provides tech support for online worship. While she works remotely, she’s passionate about making sure our congregation stays well-informed and well-connected. Kelly has a bachelor’s degree in Communications (with a focus on journalism and creative writing), graduated Summa Cum Laude from SUNY Brockport, and brings with her more than 20 years of writing, publishing, and marketing communications experience. She is also a certified wellness coach and life coach. Outside of work, she loves books, both reading them and collecting them; watching tv shows and movies; and spending time with her family (including her cat, Lynxie).
Jabriel Parham
Finance and Building Use Administrator
Jabriel is the newest member of the staff here at Twelve Corners and joined us in May 2024 as our Finance and Building Use Administrator. You can find her ensuring the financial side of our church business is handled securely including recording pledges, completing monthly reports, payroll, and much more. When not in the office, she is in the community working as an American Sign Language interpreter. She recently graduated cum laude from RIT/NTID, and has additional bachelor’s in Spanish. As you might tell, connecting with people of various languages and cultures is a passion of hers. Outside of work Jabriel enjoys time with her kids, nature walks, soapmaking, and hands-on projects.
