       Ryan JonesFamily Pastor After graduating from Ozark Christian College, I joined the Connections Church family in 2011. For over a decade, I've been a guide from the side, helping students meet, know, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Now, as the Family Pastor, I enjoy doing the same for our Family Ministry team and the parents in our community. Along with my wife Vanessa and our two sons, we are dedicated to spreading the Gospel throughout the communities of Johnstown and Milliken. As a family, we challenge ourselves to live out the words of Deuteronomy 6 in our daily lives and love to invite families to join us on that journey.

 Schedule a meeting hereMy wife Heidi and our 3 sons were called to move from Longmont to Johnstown-Milliken and start the church in 2006. Since then, we’ve been blessed to call this ‘home’ and see our family grow along with our community. As grateful as I am for the past (almost) twenty of ministry here, I'm even more excited to see what God will do in and through Connections in the next twenty! As our community grows, I pray that we can continue to be a trustworthy place for people to meet Jesus and begin their new life in Him.

       Bailey RimskyKidMin Director As a family we first came to Connections in January of 2018. I joined the Connections KidMin team early on and have been the KidMin Director since September of 2019. This position has helped grow me as an individual and as a spiritual leader alongside of my husband Brett, in our home to our three kids; Makynli, Colt and Nolan. It has been my passion and His plan to partner with kids and parents to support and encourage everyone on their discipleship journey. I want to reach kids so that they have an opportunity to grow in and through a relationship with the Lord regardless of where they are in their walk.
