Pastor Bob :: Pastor Jeff :: Pastor Chris
Pastor Bob and Joannie Morton   
I’m Bob Morton and I’ve been at the Alliance Church of the Valley since June of 04. Most of our ministries had kept us in Minnesota until then. We really love the beauty both of Wisconsin and the people of our church. I attended and graduated from Crown College (formerly St. Paul Bible College) in Minnesota in 1974. While there I met my wife Joannie. We’ve served five other churches over the years as well as served at Crown College for a time. We have raised our three children who now all live in the Twin Cities area. Our four grandchildren are a source of great delight and we are so glad to have them close.

I’m committed to building people through the exposition of God’s Word. Additionally, I hope to enhance a vibrant Missions heart within our church as we seek to complete the Great Commission Christ has given to us. Personally, I’m seeking to continue my own development into Christ-likeness. I hope you will consider coming to our Church and let’s GROW TOGETHER.

Hi, my name is Jeff Naegelen, and being the associate pastor for adult ministries is a privilege and a joy. I currently oversee 3 main areas of ministry: Outreach into the community; Discipleship, Small Groups and adult education; Assimilation of new people into the fabric of church life. It brings great joy being used by God to help people get to know and understand Jesus better, and to grow in their faith and walk with Him. It’s also a lot of fun to help people connect and develop meaningful relationships with one another in the church, in the community and around the world.

 Crown College in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota is my alma mater, where I graduated in 1983 with a Bachelors of Religious Education. Prior to that I received a 1 year Bible Certificate from Northwestern College in Roseville. I was an Admissions Counselor for Crown College until 1989 before going into youth ministry in Hawaii. I came to Alliance Church of the Valley in January of 1991 and served as the youth pastor until August of 1997. I then went to Missouri Valley, Iowa for nearly 4 years to serve as a pastor of a young church plant before returning to Alliance Church of the Valley in April of 2001.

 My wife DeeAnn and I are thankful to God for bringing us together. We have been happily married for 17 years, and have three wonderful children, Josiah (13), Elliana (6), and Hope (3). We take great comfort in knowing that our children enjoy coming to church and participating in the various programs offered and the care given by such loving people. This is not only a great place to raise our children, but a great place to serve our Lord and Friend Jesus Christ. I hope you’ll join us, and experience what I’m talking about.  

Hi!  I am Chris Folkestad, the Youth Pastor at Alliance Church of the Valley.  My wife Katie and I were both born and raised in central Minnesota.  I previously served as Youth Pastor in Central Minnesota before making the transition to St. Croix Falls.  Serving and being with students is a passion of both Katie and myself

My personal philosophy of ministry is to help students know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, grow in their personal relationships with Him and go and bring this message of hope and salvation to their friends, community and world!  I believe strongly in connecting students with Christ and seeing them begin to own their faith! 

Katie and I were married in August of 2003.  We were able to graduate from Crown College in 2004.  Katie majored in Youth Social Science and Business and I graduated with a degree in Youth Ministry.  We welcomed Caden Glen Folkestad into our family on May 25, 2007.  He has brought so much joy and love to our family.  Not to mention the laughs!  God has blessed us as we continue to grow closer together.  We are excited about our time here at ACV!  We believe that the best way to do ministry and life is as a team.
