Rev. & Mrs. Tony Puckett - Youth Pastor
Rev. & Mrs. Tony Puckett serve ALUPC in many different capacities. For many years, Rev. Puckett served as Music Director, Sunday School Director, and Youth Minister. He is responsible for forming the choir, (which began as a youth choir when he was a teenager), and bringing the music of ALUPC to the level it is at today. He began teaching Sunday School when he was in the seventh grade, and when the Sunday School Director at the time moved, he stepped up to the plate taking his place. When his brother who was the Youth Pastor passed away from leukemia, he stepped up to the plate to 'temporarily' fill the slot of Youth Leader. In 2008, Rev. Puckett 'finally' handed over the reins of the Sunday School Department, and was voted in as Youth Pastor of ALUPC.
Sis. Amber Puckett began teaching Sunday School several years after Rev. Puckett, and eventually began assisting him in the Nursery/Beginners Classrooms. She is always at her husbands side, assisting in the many different responsibilities that get passed to a Youth Pastor who is also the son of the Pastor, whether it be fundraising, administrative roles, or just cleaning the church. She serves as the Sunday School secretary, serves on a Praise Team, sings in the choir, and assists wherever needed.
Together with their children, J.D., Peyton, and KaiAna, the Puckett family has served ALUPC for many years!
