A Little About Marty

Marty is a graduate of Melbourne High School (Melbourne, Florida), the University of Central Florida (BA in Political Science and Communications), and Perkins School of Theology (Master of Divinity). He is an ordained Elder in the Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. He has served churches of all sizes and in all areas of the Texas Conference, including College Station, Bullard, Van, Beaumont, Lake Jackson, Spring, Sugar Land, Missouri City, and Houston. 

Theologically, Marty considers himself a liberal Wesleyan focusing his theology on grace, community, and the Sacraments. Socially, Marty has always been a strong ally of the LGBTQIA community as well as anyone who has been pushed to the margins. 

Marty is the proud father of two amazing young men, Dr. Connor Vershel and Zachary Vershel. Both of his boys have married incredible women, Mary Ryan and Hannah. But his pride and joy is his first grandchild, Myer James Vershel. 

Marty loves making meatballs, the Keys, the beach, driving his Jeep, and all things baseball. And he bleeds Blue and Orange for his NY Mets. He believes that we can learn about God, faith, and life in the everyday things we encounter, interact with, and experience - - even Zombies. 

Today, you might find Marty at a funeral home doing the work of a Celebrant for Dignity Memorial, in the kitchen making meatballs, playing with his foster dogs, or riding his Cannondale road bike on the trails and roads of Houston. He would love to hear from you, and what you think of the blog; you can reach him by email.
