Tabatha Hartman
Women's Ministry Director
Shalom! My name is Tabatha Hartman, and I am blessed to serve alongside my husband, Pastor Matthew, at The Church at Lion of Judah.
The Church at Lion of Judah holds a special place in my heart, as it was here that the Lord opened my eyes to the importance of being rooted in a community of believers. What began as a personal transformation has grown into a deep love for the Lord, His Word, and His people. I am continually grateful for His faithfulness and the work He continues to do in my life.
As the Women's Ministry Director and administrator of the Key of David Prayer Room, my heart is to encourage others to grow in their relationship with Jesus, become firmly established in the truth of God's Word, and discover the beauty of a life devoted to Him.
I believe that spiritual growth happens as we seek the Lord, remain grounded in Scripture, and walk together in faith and love. It is my joy to serve this church family, support my husband in the calling God has placed upon his life, and encourage women to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly.
My prayer is that The Church at Lion of Judah will always be a place where people encounter the presence of God, grow in spiritual maturity, and find a family of believers committed to walking in His truth.
I look forward to welcoming you into our church family!

Michell Madden
Worship Leader
Shalom and blessing, I am Michell Madden; I have been saved, born again for over 20 years, and let me say what a journey it has been. I was raised in Pentecostal and full Gospel Baptist churches. I was called to sing at eight years of age when my father would preach at our home church and travel to other churches. I have had the honor of serving and attending with the most amazing leaders and family on Earth today at Lion of Judah for 14 years. I am blessed that the Lord has called me and equipped me to lead worship at Lion Of Judah for going on two years now with an amazing team that is a true family! I am so blessed by the love, support, freedom, covering, and guidance of our Pastor Matthew and Tabatha Hartman. May the Lord Bless all of his called-out ones and allow them to run this race until the end!!! Chazak V'amatz (Be Strong and Courageous)
