Bethany Christian Schools Announces Resignation of Varsity Volleyball Coach
Goshen, Indiana – May 12, 2025 – Bethany Christian Schools regrets to announce the resignation of Mady Kern, Varsity Volleyball Coach, effective May 31, 2025. She will be taking a new position as an assistant coach of the Women’s and Men’s Volleyball programs at Bethel College (Mishawaka).
While her tenure was brief, Mady had a tremendous impact on the volleyball program, and laid a solid foundation for the program moving forward. Gary Chupp, Athletic Director, expressed appreciation for Mady’s contributions, saying, “I hate that our kids only had one year to work with Mady, but she was provided a professional opportunity that she could not pass up. Our loss is certainly Bethel’s gain, and I know Mady will do great things at the collegiate level.”
Reflecting on her time at Bethany, Mady stated, “I am so blessed with the time I had here at Bethany. It wasn’t the time period I had in mind and these girls/community make it nearly impossible to say goodbye. The family atmosphere here is phenomenal, but I felt like I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to move up to collegiate level.. The students, faculty, and staff at Bethany will always hold a very special place in my heart. I cannot put into words how genuine and eager this team is to improve. My prayer is that the next coach can continue the foundation/culture we have created and that the girls can continue to grow on and off the court as players and young ladies. I want to thank everyone that helped me in this chapter and made me feel welcome and loved. I look forward to coming back and supporting the Bruins!!”
As Mady departs, the search for a new Varsity Volleyball Coach will begin immediately. The school is committed to finding a candidate who will continue to uphold the standards of excellence and further advance the volleyball program.
