Deb Troyer

Deb Troyer accepted a part-time position as Director of Christian Education in August of 2001.  Deb was born in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to Merlin and Judy Denney. The oldest of three children, she graduated from Wayne High School in 1979 and continued her education at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Majoring in Elementary Education, Deb earned a BS degree in Education and graduated from IU in 1983.

It was in her senior year in Bloomington that she met Mark Troyer at the Christian Student Fellowship campus ministry and they married in August of 1983. Mark’s job with Marathon Oil Company brought them to Findlay, Ohio, where they began attending Central Church of Christ.

With the addition of our Youth Minister in August of 2005, Deb became the Children’s Ministry Director. Deb primarily focuses on nursery through elementary age children which allows her to blend her love for children with her passion for them to know Christ. She is currently a teacher in the preschool department, a Program Consultant for the Homework Central after school homework assistance program, as well as a youth leader for the elementary youth group on Sunday evenings. Mark utilizes his computer skills in the Media Ministry.

Deb and Mark have six children; Amy, Erin, David, Sam, Stephanie, and Andrea. Amy married Jeff Thomas on May 14, 2005 and they reside in Anderson, Indiana, while attending Anderson University. Erin is pursuing a degree in Art Education at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. David, Sam, Stephanie, and Andrea all attend Findlay City Schools and are actively involved in the youth programs at Central.
