Ales

Teaching Pastor, Young Families Pastor
Bloomington

I started attending Hometown Church in 2008, when I was invited by a dear friend. I later became very involved with our Young Adults Ministry, where I met my wife, Rosanne (she’s way out of my league). I became a lay-pastor in 2015, where I have served the church through leading the Young Adults Ministry, Young Families Ministry, and Children’s Ministry.

‍

I’m a Minnesota native, born in Burnsville, and never moved far from the south Twin Cities suburbs. I went to school for Graphic Design/UX Design, and worked in the design field for around 15 years until joining Hometown Church fill-time as a teaching pastor. My passion is that everyone get to know the incredible love and majesty of the true God of the Bible.

Rosanne and I have been married since 2011, and we have 4 beautiful children (they take after their mom). When I’m not preparing a message or high-fiving the kids in the halls of the church, I like to play guitar & sing, create art, and play nerdy board games.
