The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps kids, ages Birth–5th grade, dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. Every lesson is Christ-centered and theologically rich. It teaches kids to be missionally minded, helping kids share and live out the Gospel.

Meet the Children’s Ministry Director

Hi! I’m Maddie, and I’m so excited to be serving as the Kids Ministry Director at River of Life!

I’ve been working with kids since high school, both through the church and in school settings. I’ve had the joy of teaching Sunday School for the past 10 years, and I love getting to know kids and helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Before joining the River of Life staff, I was a special education teacher. In 2024, I welcomed my baby girl and made the transition to being a stay-at-home mom while also working part-time as our church secretary. I’m so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to continue serving kids and families in this new season of life!

When I’m not at church, you’ll usually find me outside, spending time with my family, or curled up with a good book. I’m looking forward to getting to know all of our RiverKids families and creating a Kids Ministry where children feel loved, welcomed, and excited to learn about Jesus!
