Nellie Cejpek
Connections Director
I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home near Richland Center, WI. I attended church and kids/youth groups all throughout school. When I headed to college I got involved with CRU at UW-Whitewater and really chose Jesus for myself. I had a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what He did for me on the cross. Back in May of 2014 when I moved to Madison, I called the HPC to see if they had any roommate leads. I ended up living with a young newly married couple that was attending HPC for a few months before getting my feet under me in Madison. I really liked the teaching and the young adult ministry, so I have never left. In late 2017 a friend recommended me to a Pastor at HPC that was looking for an administrative assistant. I met with him to ask a few questions and that turned into an interview and the next thing I knew I was hired on at HPC as a Ministry Administrative Assistant by Dec 31, 2017! In 2021 I was promoted to Connection Coordinator and in 2024 to Connections Director! I really enjoy getting to meet and know new guests and help them find a home here at HPC.
