- Native Oregonian Debbie Csergei has had the opportunity to serve local congregations in Hillsboro, Sherwood, and now Tigard. Her involvement with children has included: working in our public School system, volunteering in a Girl Scout troop, leading a 4-H club, and directing various children's ministries. But, by far the best experience with children has been gained by being the mother of three children and most recently the grandmother of twin boys. Debbie's passions include encouraging parents by teaching parenting classes and connecting with children while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Charles Dickens said it well, "I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are fresh from God, love us."
