Directors

  • Deb Pierce

    Director of Circles

    Deb is a homegrown Colorado girl.  Now retired from a 30 year corporate career, pitching-in and consulting is her passion. After many years away from church, re-entering at All Souls has opened her eyes to a different kind of faith community. Life is fuller and relationships are richer. Hearing people’s stories and experiencing this welcoming community has inspired Deb to accept the mystery of God and find enormous freedom in this mystery.
