Fellistus was born and raised into a Brethren in Christ family in Zambia and attended Carlisle Brethren in Christ while at Messiah College. As a member of Harrisburg BIC Church since 2013, she has held various roles including serving on the Mosaics team, serving with the children ministries, representing the Atlantic Conference on the Mennonite Central Committee – East Coast board as well as volunteering with other ministries. As a family they have chosen to make HBIC their home church because the vision and mission of the church resonates with them. The church offers their family the pathways to love and follow Jesus, from relationships, to prayer, to worship, to the messages. Fellistus and her husband, Kofi, live in Harrisburg. They are blessed with two children.
