After 27 years in ministry service in Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas, in 2020, Alden and his wife Melanie returned to Brookfield where Melanie grew up. Alden serves as Pastor of Discipleship seeking to help all who long to grow in their walk with Jesus. Understanding that we are called to be disciples who make disciples, Alden emphasizes James 1:22, that we are to be “doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Alden’s prayer is that disciple-making does not stop upon hearing but will shape how we live our lives each day.
Alden and Melanie have three sons and one daughter and also 5 grandchildren. He is a graduate of Southwest Baptist University. Alden is also a freelance voice actor/narrator for business videos, employee training, commercials, and more. He loves to have real conversations with people and would be thrilled if you joined him for a round of disc golf, a board game, or just a cup of coffee.
