Connecting Kids to Christ
KidzConnect exists to connect children to the gospel. We want children to understand the good news about Jesus Christ and how his death and resurrection personally impact them now and eternally. We focus on this every week by accurately presenting God's plan of salvation (the gospel) so that every child can understand it. We hope to see your child at one of our services this week! We hold services at 9am and 11am. New to Connections or checking your child into Children's Ministry for the first time?

Mady has been attending Connections since 2017 with her family. Over the years, Mady has served in Kidz Connect as a helper, teacher, and Assistant Director. She stepped into the Director of Children’s Ministry position in September 2025.
Mady holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Fairmont State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. She is passionate about serving children and families in various capacities with the goal of compassionately meeting them where they are at and reflecting the light of Christ to them to glorify God. When Mady is not pursuing this purpose in her children’s ministry role, she is pursuing it in her role as counselor at a local Christian counseling practice. She enjoys spending time with her family and her husband, running, and being outdoors whenever possible enjoying God’s creation! Her favorite Bible verse is Matthew 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
