NFP Instructors

Jesse and Molly Czech (Certified CCL Teachers)

Location: Madison/Fitchburg
Experience: 3 years--currently not teaching

Molly and Jesse were married in June 2012 and reside in Madison. They belong to Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish and joyfully welcomed their first child in 2016 and their second child in 2019. Molly works as a mental health counselor and social worker for UW Madison and St. Mary’s Hospital. Jesse works as a Change Management Coordinator for UW System Administration.

Molly and Jesse learned the Family of the Americas Method of NFP through their own marriage preparation in 2011-2012. They were immediately interested in practicing NFP as they believed in the many personal, relational, and spiritual benefits of NFP. Since practicing NFP, Molly and Jesse continue to experience and are blessed with so many gifts. They knew early on they wanted to educate and support couples interested in NFP and were excited to have the training opportunity to learn and become teachers of the Sympto-Thermal Method through the Couple-to-Couple League.

In their free time Molly and Jesse are loving the adjustment of having two children--Mabel and Miles. They enjoy traveling to various cities to visit family and friends, going for walks, biking, and even going for “Sunday drives”. Most importantly, they love spending time together as a family.

Colton Chase and Amelia Lax (Certified CCL Teachers-in practicum)

Location: Madison
Experience: In practicum--currently not teaching



Colton and Amelia were married in 2017 and are part of the St. Paul's community downtown Madison. Colton graduated from UW Law in 2020 and works as an attorney in Madison, while Amelia is a technical writer for Sub-Zero Wolf in Fitchburg.

Colton and Amelia chose the sympto-thermal method NFP during their marriage prep because the different kinds of data increased their confidence with the method and satisfied Amelia's curiosity as  a former biology student.  After practicing NFP successfully for 3 years, they became a teaching couple in 2020.  NFP has strengthened their compassion and communication as spouses, and their hope is to share that gift with others through the Couple-to-Couple League.

When they aren't teaching, Colton and Amelia spend their time playing tabletop role-playing games, reading fantasy and science fiction, baking, gardening, and hiking with their dog, Ben.

Andrea currently lives in Madison with her husband Andy and son Gabriel. She has worn many hats over the years and worked as a pastoral intern at St Paul University Catholic Center and as an elementary school teacher at Mary Queen of Saints in West Allis. When she was living in England shortly after getting married, Andrea discovered there were no Creighton practitioners in her area to be found! So she thought I'll become one! She took her Creighton education course in France and began to practice in England, but a series of events led to her family returning home. Now she practices in Madison. Andrea is thrilled to work with couples and single women who are interested in learning about their fertility and health!

Please consider becoming an NFP teacher! We are currently experiencing an increase in NFP inquiries and class requests, but don't have enough active teachers to meet every need. We especially need candidates for:

• Spanish speaking teachers
• Rock, Green, Jefferson, Lafayette, Iowa, Marquette, Sauk, Columbia, and Green Lake counties
• Medical professionals (Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, PAs, etc.)

All you need is a desire to spread the good news about NFP and the motivation to complete the training. Preference given to married women/couples who have personal experience practicing NFP and who also live (and would provide instruction) onsite in the above counties. Online instruction is also welcomed. Medical background is a bonus, and NFP medical professionals are always needed, but it is not necessary for teaching NFP. For more information, please contact the Volunteer Diocesan NFP Advocate: vicki.braun@madisondiocese.org.
