OUR SPEAKERS:
​DEB KLUTTZ & HOMESTEAD SURVIVORS

Deb Kluttz is founder and Executive Director of The Homestead in both Manhattan and Salina, Kansas.  The Homestead is a faith-based transitional home for women, 18 and older, who have exited the sex industry/human trafficking and are ready for a new career path. The Homestead has been operating in Manhattan, KS, since July 2012 and has impacted over 100 women thus far.  A second location, a Homestead Chapter, has also been opened in Salina, KS, as of April 2021, which doubles Homestead’s survivor capacity.  

Deb has served on the leadership team at Westview Community Church since 1996 and she was ordained in the Wesleyan Church in 2004.  She birthed the Homestead while in the role of Executive Pastor at WCC, however she shifted to full time status with Homestead when the ministry became a separate non-profit in 2016.  Deb remains as one of the Associate Pastors at WCC.  Deb also continues to serve on the Kansas Attorney General’s Advisory Board for human trafficking and has done so since 2019.

Deb holds a BS in Bible/Family Ministry from Manhattan Christian College and a MS in Leadership from Grand Canyon University.  She has 3 adult, married children and 12 grandbabies who are the joy of her life!

The causes of human trafficking are complex.  While many may be under the ​impression that human trafficking is driven by poverty, there are in fact many factors at play. Human trafficking is caused by a tapestry of issues all working together.
