Connie Karn

Connie was born and raised in Rapid Cit, SD. While attending college at Black Hills State University, she met and married Pat Karn. To this union three children were born. For the next twelve years Connie was dedicated to being a stay-at-home mom and wife. While raising her children, Connie was involved in starting two MOPS programs, leading numerous ladies' bible studies, speaking at ladies' conferences and supporting her husband Pat in his ministry.

Connie came to work at CLM in 1993 as a member of the office staff. In 1995 she took the position as office manager and Lay Counseling Course Supervisor. During the next 5 years, she also completed all four levels of counselor training through CLM and became a counseling partner with her husband Pat.

The year 2005 found Connie in a new situation. All three children had married and now she was a grandmother. God was also redirecting her as to how she should fill her days. During this time, Connie stepped down as Office Manager and wanted more time for family. God provided an avenue for a more flexible schedule by drawing Connie's heart into more time in the counseling office for counselor support as well as one-on-one counseling.

She has also traveled with husband Pat on four Rapid Response trips with the Billy Graham Association. Connie and Pat love living in the Black Hills area and the closest thing to their hearts has always been to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to whoever has ears to hear.
