I (Debbie) have been in worship ministry for 20 years. Through these years, it has grown into a family affair, involving my husband, James and daughter, Keri. It is an honor to work alongside the people closest to me. My greatest desire is to take people by the hand, if only for a moment, and lead them into the presence of God. Our favorite pastime is catching the "fight" in Nashville with our favorite hockey team, the Nashville Predators!
