OUR STAFF. OUR MISSION

God called me to preach at age 28. I attended college with my wife at age 29. While in college I realized my call was for the pastorate. Making disciples through the preaching of the word is my calling. I married Judy (Garrett) Hall on July 2, 1972. Judy works outside the home as a Personal Manager at Legacy Hospice. She teaches College Sunday School and leads ladies Bible studies. She is as much a minister as I am to the church. Our oldest son Adam Hall and his wife Angela live in Cullman, AL and have 2 sons. Our youngest son Aaron Hall and his wife Cameron live in Anniston, AL and have 4 daughters.
