Our Staff
Pastor Bob Hallam
Lead Pastor
Robert Hallam was born and raised 20 miles south of Boston and saved at the age of 9 in Walpole, Mass. While he didn’t grow up in a Godly home, he was honored to be mentored by the same man, who not only led him to the Lord, but continued to speak into his life even after he married and went into the ministry. Robert (or Bobby as his wife calls him) loves people and can’t go anywhere without talking with a friend or making a new one (he can talk to a wall and have a good conversation.) He loves all his Bibles, bold coffee, hunting and all things Boston. He is the coolest Yankee you will ever meet.
Alaine Hallam
Lead Pastor
Alaine was born in Detroit and raised mainly in central Florida in a Godly home. She gave her heart to Christ as a very young girl and has always been part of a choir or worship team in obedience to God’s gifting. Alaine did not always want to be in full-time ministry, but God changed her heart and mind in 1992 when God told her that, “behind the pulpit is where Bobby needs to be.” She has never looked back on the calling God has for them and she is dedicated to be by her husband’s side. Alaine’s favorite season is Winter, she loves all things Christmas, loves to read books and create handmade Cards and she CANNOT talk to a wall like her husband.

Brenda enjoys spending time with her husband, two sons and their wives, and her three grandchildren. She especially enjoys cheering on her grandkids in their extracurricular and athletic endeavors. Brenda is thankful for all God is doing and is excited about seeing miracles happen in hearts and homes of the people in the Casselman Valley.
