Matt Hale

Alton First Church - Alton, IL

Matt is passionate about Jesus and His Church! For 8 years, Matt served in student ministry at churches in Florida, Kentucky, and Indiana. But in 2021, God laid a burden on him for his hometown in Illinois. Along the way, God opened so many doors for Matt to become the lead pastor of a small congregation in Alton. Matt has a passion to raise up strong leaders for small churches and to see small churches grow and multiply.

 Being a dad to Evelyn and Madelyn is one of the greatest blessings of his life. Seeing his wife, Bekah being “Super Mom” brings him so much joy! Matt enjoys all things St. Louis, from Cardinals’ baseball to BBQ!
