First Friends Meeting
Staff & Leaders

Deborah Suess

I was in my early 30s when I was first walked through the doors of a Quaker Meeting and eventually became a “Convinced Friend.” After completing seminary, I served as a pastoral minister in West Branch, Iowa; Perth, Australia; and Spokane, Washington. In the summer of 2004 my husband Tim Jackson and I were delighted to move to Greensboro and make First Friends our church home. Some of “my favorite things” include good coffee with cream, spicy foods, traveling anywhere warm, dancing music, reading mysteries and stumbling upon a really satisfying movie. I also love to engage in conversation about our faith journeys.
