This foundation-building ministry is the beginning of a lifelong

journey toward spiritual maturity. Those involved in this ministry

are extremely important to the growth and guidance of the church.

The ministry itself involves teaching, service, and activities for

children through 5th grade. Our goal is for our children to exceed

and surpass us in faith, knowledge, commitment, fruitfulness, and

application. We join with our parents to guide and equip the next

generation into a God-centered and Christ-exalting environment.

Leigh Ann Benson, Children’s Ministry Director, is passionate

about teaching and sharing God’s Word.

Leigh Ann earned her Early Childhood Education degree from the

University of Alabama. She put her love and knowledge into

teaching and implementing programs to better the community.

She taught at Central School in Madison County for 9 years,

Mayfair Child Development Center for 2 years, and Madison

Academy for 3 years. At those different schools, she taught Pre-K through 3rd grades. She was a Preschool Specialist / Minister for

almost 15 years at Mayfair Church of Christ in Huntsville. She led

programs such as VBS, Bags of Blessings, Upward Basketball,

Funfest, and Mission Thanksgiving and planned many events for

Mayfair Children’s Ministry. We are thrilled to have Leigh Ann join our congregation, community, and mission to Be Like Jesus. Serve Like Jesus.
