Our Pastor

Rev. Dee grew up in Maryland. She received an associate's degree from Frederick Community College, and then went on to Western Maryland College, where she graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in English/Secondary Education. After spending some time working as a high school English teacher, Rev. Dee began graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, MA, and received her M.Div degree in 2001. Prior to becoming our pastor, Rev. Dee served as a Chaplain for Hospice of Palm Beach County for several years. 

Excerpts from Rev. Dee's statements on ministry:

"The Church seeks to welcome and prepare a place for all of God's children, just as Christ has prepared a home for us."

"What is ministry? To be sure, ministry is never purely individual; it is a collective endeavor that arises out of our walk with God and our walk with each other."

"Ministry is when we are able to gaze into the eyes of someone who is struggling and can transcend ourselves by touching her sadness...or his joy."

"Ministry is deeply loving life, the Church, each other and God despite the hurts."

"Ministry calls us to be where Jesus is, so that God's peace may follow in our footsteps."
