Deacon Marie Poole

Deacon Marie moved to Carshalton from her home town of Plymouth in September 2022, and is our minister with pastoral charge of both this church and Wallington Methodist Church.

Marie's ordination into the ministry followed three years working alongside the congregation and communities within the Sutton Circuit. Prior  Prior to this she completed three years training at The Queen’s Foundation (the ecumenical theological college in Birmingham) on the part-time pathway for pre-ordination training. 

A lifelong Methodist, Marie's background is in health and education, having worked with children and families for over 30 years. For most of that time she worked with pre-school children with additional needs, and their families, both in a Child Development Centre, and as a Portage Home Visitor within a home teaching service.

Marie's interests include walking and exploring the beautiful parks and open spaces in and around the Sutton area.

As a Deacon, Marie is a member of the Methodist Diaconal Order, which is both an order of ministry and a religious order.

Marie can be contacted via the church office or by phoning (020) 8647 1550 or 07539 312569.
