Debi DeBoer has been involved with First Priority since 1995. She had planned on going to med school to become a doctor, but God had other plans for her. She began full-time ministry in 1995 as a minister of music at her local church. Teenagers kept coming to her piano bench to talk and seek encouragement, and at the time she didn't see the big picture. She later realized that God was calling her into full-time student ministry. Debi has served in many areas of her church as well as being the Ministry and Area Director for FP Birmingham. 

Debi lives in Birmingham, AL with her husband who she has been married to for 26 years and together they have three children who are all in college.
