She Started IT!!!




Where did the idea of the Great Adventure Club start?




You HAVE to meet Kelly! This young woman lives and breathes sharing Christ with kids! You cannot be around her as she speaks to the children that you are not transported back to being 10 years old again. It is as a little child that we must come to Christ - and Kelly brings the Bible to life, giving amazing understanding to salvation through everyday life circumstances. Kelly is the one that gave birth to the after school Bible club in our community. When asked to share a note about her passion for reaching kids, she responded....

“After starting several “Good News Clubs” in schools in Johnson, Shelby, and Morgan county, I kept feeling like there was something missing from these clubs. While there were many good things about the GNC’s, the primary focus was simply to present the Gospel over and over.

Our team believes the children need to know how to navigate the Bible and to know that every word in the Bible is absolutely true!! In our Great Adventure Club we write our own lessons and create programs that empower, enable, and encourage children to read their Bibles, memorize Scripture in their hearts, and put their faith into action.


My personal responsibility in the club is the “Object Lesson” portion. I write lessons that correspond with the overall theme and incorporate a prize as the object of the lesson. The kids listen intently to my lesson because they know there is a prize to follow. The prize helps to bring the message to a child’s level of understanding and makes it much more likely that they will remember the Bible Truth in their minds and in their hearts. The children are given the prize and then challened to go tell someone else the lesson they learned.” ~~ Kelly
