Rev. Ellen Debenport was appointed senior minister at Unity Church of Dallas in December 2003 after serving four years as an associate minister here. She brings to Sunday mornings a blend of intelligence, humor, and a fresh look at the Bible and the spiritual principles by which we live. Her messages often focus on human beings’ role as co-creators with God and the divine power that dwells in each person.

As an associate minister, Ellen created a lively Wednesday night service with the Unitunes house band and helped organize the Unity Texas marketing team with other churches in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She also taught classes on prosperity and Unity basics as well as imaginative short courses on the metaphysics of fairy tales and shady ladies of the Bible.

Before she was called to ministry, Ellen was a journalist with United Press International and the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, mostly covering politics. Her last posting was in Washington, DC, focusing on social issues including welfare, gays, women, voting rights, and immigration. She then studied for two years at the Unity School for Religious Studies near Kansas City, Mo., and was ordained in 1999. She is a native Texan with a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Baylor University.
