She is majoring in special education and is currently on the church staff as the part-time Children's Director. Heather was recently married June 5th, 2010 to Luke Valentine. Holly graduated from Durant High School in 2010 and enjoyed playing clarinet for the “Pride of Durant” high school band. She recieved her local ministerial license in 2010 from the New Horizons Ministry Conference of the IPHC. She is preparing to attend Southwestern Christian University to major in biblical studies.

Pastor Tim and family have ministered in Wheaton, Illinois, and previously in Rogers, Arkansas.  Sheila is a native of Oklahoma whereas Tim is originally from Missouri but says that “he got here as fast as he could.”  Tim graduated from Mustang High School in Mustang, Oklahoma and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond. He completed his biblical studies with Berean University. Tim is pursuing his Masters of Minstry degree through Southwestern Christian Univeristy. Sheila graduated from Putnam City West High School in Bethany, Oklahoma and also attended the University of Central Oklahoma. Sheila, also with our daughter Holly, received her local minsterial license in 2010 from the New Horizons Ministry Conference of the IPHC. Sheila prefers for Pastor Tim to concentrate on the serious part of ministry while she participates in the fun part of ministry.

“We are excited about serving Durant and the surrounding communities” says Pastor Tim.  “ALT is blessed to be a blessing.”  We want to accomplish this by providing fun and dynamic programs for children, relevant and impactful youth services along with men’s, women’s and single’s ministries. Our Sunday services include prayer, songs of praise, worship and sound practical biblical preaching.  Wednesday night services have great teaching and fun for all ages.
