Connecting Kids to Christ
C3 Kids 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 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 glorify God.
