and begin hairdressing school. Once completed, she moved to Nashville for
the next seven years where she met and married her husband, Kris.
The urge to move home to Connecticut came once Kari learned she would
become an aunt! She and Kris moved back to be closer to family. She also
began her own family and gave birth to Sinead (2004) and Jaden (2005). After living in Connecticut for some time, God called her family to become domestic missionaries working at a Christ-centered recovery program called His Mansion in Hillsboro, NH. She and Kris were staff members until God called them back to CT in 2016.
Ever since Kari became a mom, the prayer of her heart was to send her own children to CCS. God answered that prayer in 2017 when Sinead and Jaden enrolled in the middle school program. Kari wanted her children to be protected from the harmful philosophies of the world and has been blessed by the changes she has seen in her children since they started attending CCS. Sinead has become “more settled spiritually” and she reported to Kari that everyone at CCS is “so nice!” Kari believes Sinead has responded to the character of Christ in the people surrounding her. For Jaden, Kari has watched him blossom academically. He has become a more independent student and has experienced significant growth in his reading and writing abilities.

At CCS, we “have no greater joy than to hear that (our) children are walking in the truth.” (3 John 1:4). It’s wonderful to know that a new generation of students are being blessed by a Christ-centered education, too!
