Deborah, Jamie, and Kayla (pictured left to right)
Deborah is a Minnesota native, transplanted over the border to Eau Claire in 2017 alongside her husband, Kyle, and four kiddos: Abigail, Ellinor, Ian and Oliver. The Bridge has been their church home ever since. She graduated from the University of Minnesota with degrees in chemistry and science education and has had the privilege of homeschooling her family since 2014.
Deborah enjoys time spent connecting with kids, playing games and sharing the outdoors with others. She can easily be distracted with the lure of a book to read (especially if it means reading aloud to kids), and values each time she is reminded of the grace and the hope of the Gospel.
