Brandi Wolf Drake, Associate Pastor
The Reverend Brandi Wolf Drake, Associate Pastor of Grace Church, came to us from Southern California in 1998. 
She received a B.A. degree in Asian Studies/Comparative Literature from the University of California at Santa Barbara, spending a year abroad in Beijing, China during that time. She completed her Master of Divinity in 1996 from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Before coming to serve Grace, Rev. Drake worked with youth at a congregation in West Yellowstone, Montana.
Rev. Drake enjoys working in many areas of ministry at Grace — including leading worship, resourcing Youth and Children’s ministries, and overseeing Discipleship and Nurture at Grace. Some of her favorite projects include the Alpha Course, Small Group ministries, and assisting with Care Ministry.
In addition to her ministry at Grace Church, she serves on a regional board for Wee Kirk, a ministry of Presbyterians for Renewal, and currently moderates the Division of Presbytery Mission for Newark Presbytery.
She and her husband Evan have two boys and enjoy life in Montclair.
