Missy Reynolds / Children’s Director

Having just stepped into learning about her faith about a year ago, Missy was very pleased and honored to be offered the amazing opportunity to guide the students and children of Maize United Methodist Church in their faith and knowledge of God!
Missy looks forward to bringing God into her own life more as well as the lives of the children she comes across throughout this experience and other experiences.
