Deborah has been attending The River since May 2014 and joined our staff team in September 2016 as our Children's Ministry Assistant. As Deborah became more integrated into the staff team, we identified many areas where her interests and passions met the needs of the broader team and organization. Since 2018 she has served as the Ministry Operations Associate, where she is able to direct her love for people, systems, and processes towards the shifting needs of our church and team. Deborah loves seeing people find places of connection and belonging within our church community, and helps coordinate our small groups, River 101 Class, and Partnership (membership) process.
Since August 2025, Deborah has been serving as our interim Children's Ministry Director.
In her free time, Deborah enjoys trying out new recipes, hiking, and playing games with her husband Chris. She also loves her role as mom to Abby, who joined their family in December 2024.
