Regional Coordinator for California, Hawaii & Southwest USA

Published 17th December 2017 by jane leadbetter

Welcome to Marty Drake, who joins Leyla Wagner as a Messy Church Regional Coordinator for California, Hawaii and Southwest USA!
Marty says, ‘I am the Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries at Community United Methodist Church in Huntington Beach, California. I have been helping to lead Messy Church at CUMC for the past five years. I am a founding board member of Messy Church USA. In my small amount of spare time, I play soccer and practice yoga. As a Regional Coordinator, I look forward to meeting and learning from others in the Messy Church community.’ 
Marty encourages those of you who are not yet registered to do so, so she can pray for you and support you. Marty encourages each Messy Church to become a member of the Messy Church USA network.
You can learn more about membership in the USA on their website.
