Pastor Matthew has served as Senior Pastor at Mt. Alto since 2021. It is his passion to see radical life change come to all who are struggling with the daily issues of life. He has a heart for missions that God has used to touch our congregation in an amazing way. It is his passion to see every Christian participate in missions and evangelism through the local church. Pastor Matthew holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from The College at Southeastern and a Master of Divinity degree from The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Pastor Matthew is married to his precious wife, Ashley (married in 2004). Ashley brings a heartbeat for children to our church as she serves the Lord by ministering to preschoolers and children. The Bowdens have two sons Ashton and Aiden who are the joy of their home. The Bowdens have a wonderful family and they use their lives of service as an example to us all. Pastor Matthew’s hobbies include singing, playing guitar, photography, kayaking, fishing, snow skiing, camping, and most of all spending time with his family. Originally from Georgia, the Bowdens love the south, southern cooking, and the outdoors. [email protected] |

Chad began his call in ministry in 1997. He attended Model High School for four years and later received his Associates Degree from Georgia Northwestern Technical College in Criminal Justice. After serving King Jesus while on staff at other churches by working with children, youth, and as a Senior Pastor, God called him to Mt. Alto to serve as Student Pastor in July 2022. He is married to our Music Director, Beth Penny, who is also a teacher at Model High School. They have four children (Weston, Abie, Cameron, Kiersten) and three grandchildren (Carson, Caroline, and Carter).
Chad’s passion and love for Christ is what he desires to see in the lives of students he meets. His three goals for the student ministry at Mt. Alto are to establish relationships, reach out through missions, and evangelize the lost. |
