After 25 years in creative and marketing leadership, Lesley Childers felt a stirring from the Holy Spirit—an unmistakable call to use her gifts for God’s greater purpose. With a heart for helping others discover, explore, and deepen their faith, she envisioned a way to make the spiritual landscape of Charlotte—often called “the City of Churches”—more navigable for both believers and seekers. That vision became Connecting to Christ CLT, an AI faith hub designed to meet people where they are and guide them toward the local faith community that align with their journey. Lesley’s mission is rooted in the belief that connection is the beginning of transformation—and that when people are plugged into the right church and spiritual support, lives flourish. Merging technology and faith, the platform meets believers and seekers where they are—online and in real life—empowering them to grow in faith and community. Lesley lives in Charlotte, NC with her husband JJ and daughter Jade.
