Allen and Kristy Moore come to us from St. Louis, Missouri via Prescott and Ola, Arkansas. They are excited to lead the church into new and exciting endeavors as we continue the church’s mission to reach both Marianna and those around the world is the Gospel of Christ.

Allen grew up in Springfield, Missouri attending Central Assemble of God and participating in Royal Rangers, Kids and Youth Choirs and the handbell choirs. For school, Allen attended Hillcrest High School and Evangel College/University majoring in Speech/Theatre Education with a concentration in Middle School Math.

Kristy grew up in Springfield, Illinois attending Assemblies of God churches throughout her childhood and teen years before going to Evangel University where she was a Special Education major.

After marrying and having their first child, a son, Allen and Kristy moved to the St. Louis area where Allen taught for 22 years in public and private schools in the area. Meanwhile, Kristy homeschooled their three children while working jobs at daycare centers, gymnastics studios and other places.

Feeling the call to full-time ministry, both persued their ministry credentials through the Assemblies of God. After being credentialed, the two (their children were grown) moved to Prescott, Arkansas where they served as Associate pastors and then Ola, Arkansas.

Finally, in September 2025, they moved to Marianna where they took on the role of Lead Pastor.
