Adult Ministries
Debbie is responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing events and activities for adults, including singles, seniors, and homeschoolers. Her days are filled with phone calls, emails, and face-to face communication, all to draw adults into having a personal encounter with Jesus. Debbie's heart is for Christ, and for the people He puts in her path.
Prior to answering God’s call to full-time vocational ministry, Debbie spent 19 years working in the high-stress newspaper industry. She fine tuned her administrative and organizational skills as Circulation Director for the Daily Review in Towanda, PA. As part of the management team there, Debbie played a big part in corporate strategic planning and customer service training.
When her marriage of 21 years ended in divorce, Debbie found herself searching for “someone” to fill the hole in her heart. Her search ended while attending her first Family Life event, a SALSA (singles) conference, where she encountered Christ for the first time.
Over the next few years, Debbie discovered how to use her God-given gifts and even her hurts to minister to women and other singles. As her passion for ministry grew, God made it clear that He was calling her to be a part of the Family Life team. After a year of raising personal support, Debbie took her leap of faith, left her job at the newspaper, and joined Family Life.
In her spare time, Debbie enjoys spending time with her two favorite people - her daughter, Maggi and her son, Dan. She also likes spending time with friends, watching movies, and doing an occasional jigsaw puzzle.
