Denise, who grew up at TNC, has a rich family history in ministry, as both a pastor's child and grandchild (twice over). She even married into a family with a similar background. Her journey into becoming a pastor herself began after some years teaching middle school. Now, she's the proud parent of five kids, all pastor's children, reflecting her deep love for God and His children.

She's been happily married to Steve since 1973 and has a strong passion for teaching and actively engaging with the Tempe community. In her spare time, you'll find her engrossed in a good book, strumming the ukulele, honing her guitar skills, and expressing herself through painting.

Denise firmly believes that everyone has a unique story to share, and she's always eager to hear yours!

Pastor Debbie is a fixture in our young children's lives. They know her office door is always open so they can get a hug or share their victories and challenges.

They see that love in action because Debbie knows the name and circumstances of every child. She directs all children's activities from birth to sixth grade and she's the Director of Tempe Christian PreSchool. 

Debbie exudes incredible energy and a positive attitude, which have helped her while teaching VBS, Sunday School, summer camps, and Camp Meeting. She has completed her Associate of Science degree in Early Education. She's s been a part of our TNC family since 1983 and the Children's Pastor for over two decades.

TNC and TCP have been a part of my life since the late 60s when my family arrived in the Valley. I met and married my husband, Ralph, at TNC. We have two sons and two wonderful (aren’t they all) grandchildren. I’ve had the privilege of being involved in various ministries at TNC, including Caravan, Healthcare Ministries, NMI, and the TCP board. My careers have been as an administrative assistant/support staff in the banking industry and as a REALTOR®. I’m happy to be an administrative assistant for the church and school. The Lord has guided me this far, and I will follow wherever He leads.
