Pastor Dale and his wife Amy moved to the Alma area from Bella Vista a few years ago. This brings Dale back to his hometown area after over 31 years away. Amy is originally from the River Valley area - Bonanza. Previously, they have served churches in Sulphur Springs and most recently in Cecil.
As mentioned, they lived in NW Arkansas prior to moving back to the area just north of Alma. Dale worked for over 35 years in various managerial roles in the manufacturing realm, while Amy is a para-professional with the Mulberry School District. They enjoy family outings and get-togethers with friends, children, and grandchildren. Dale is an avid reader and enjoys watching his favorite sports teams, especially Razorback and Cardinal Baseball.
