Debie Thomas

I am a transitional deacon at St. Mark’s, completing my last year of seminary at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. In past years, I’ve served as the Director for Children and Family Ministries, and as the Minister for Lifelong Formation here at the parish. I love helping people explore, ask questions, and go deeper in their lives of faith, whether in the context of a Bible study, a Newcomers or Confirmation class, a spiritual retreat, or a service project in the broader community. Alongside my work at the church, I am a writer, a reader, a hiker, a Peloton-er, a lover of spicy Indian food, and a besotted labradoodle owner. I live in Scotts Valley with my husband, and the wonderful comings and goings of our two young adult children.
