Pastor Dale Brooks – Senior Pastor

Dale and his son, Will, are the heart of Avalon Church. Dale is passionate about his Lord, his family, and assisting believers in experiencing the life Jesus came to give them, “more and better life than they ever dreamed of” (John 10:10 MSG). He is serious about his walk with God, but insists that the spiritual journey be fun. Dale and his sweet bride, Leigh Anne, were married 14 years prior to her death in April 2009.
