Director of Worship Ministries

Elizabeth Hall

Music has been part of my life since childhood, beginning with singing alongside my family. After giving my life to the Lord, I felt called to be a Pastor’s Wife and studied Music at Gulf-Coast/Mid-America Bible College, where I met and married Keith Hall. Since graduating, we have served in pastoral and music ministry across several states. I see it as an honor to lead worship with the goal of drawing people into God’s presence and closer to Him.

Youth Ministry Director

Brad Stone

Brad has been serving as the Youth Ministry Director at Alton Church of God for the past four years, volunteering his time to invest in the next generation.

Keith Hall

Greetings, I am so glad you are visiting our site. I am Keith Hall and serve as the Senior Pastor of Alton Church of God. I received my call to pastoral ministry in my youth to then pursue that calling in my mid-20’s. After graduating from Mid-America Bible College, where I met my wife (Elizabeth) and ministry partner, we began to serve the Church of God in youth ministry and then as a pastor of a local congregation. We have served the Church of God in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and now (again) in Illinois.

While serving as a local church pastor, I went back to college and completed my master’s degree in leadership education and would serve as an adjunct instructor for Mid-America Christian University. Before coming back home I served as a Regional Pastor for six years for Mississippi Ministries of the Church of God.

Together, Elizabeth and I have raised three wonderful children and greatly enjoy the privilege of sharing our lives with four grandchildren – we have placed our order for more grandchildren.

Elizabeth Hall

Music has always been a part of my life. I started singing with my family when I was a small girl. There has never been a time where music has not been in my home. When I accepted the Lord into my life, I felt a calling to become a Pastor’s Wife. Upon graduating from high school, my youth leader encouraged me to pursue a degree in Music at Gulf-Coast/Mid-America Bible College. It was there while pursuing my degree in Sacred Music that I met and married Keith Hall. We graduated in 1988 and started the journey of pastoral and music ministry together. We have served the Church of God in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi and Illinois. God allowed my husband and I the privilege to raise 3 children. It was my prayer that I would instill the love for music in my children as well. To date, all 3 of our children are serving in music ministries at their local congregations.

When I think of the call that God placed on my life to be a Pastor’s Wife as well as Worship Leader, I think it is an extreme honor to lead the body of Christ to the throne of God through music. It is my prayer that as you worship, you feel very near and close to the Lord. My style is a blended worship where I sing the old hymns but I am also drawn to the contemporary songs as well. But the most important thing is that you are lead into His presence and you are drawn closer to Him through the worship.

Brad Stone

Brad has just completed Leadership Focus for the Church of God and will be ordained in November 2026. He has a deep passion for youth ministry. This is inspired by the care and mentorship his own youth pastor once gave him. Brad desires to offer that same guidance and encouragement to the teens he serves today.

Outside of ministry, Brad is a proud dad to two daughters, Katlyn (19) and Breeya (20). In his free time, he enjoys fishing, playing his Nintendo Switch and listening to a wide variety of music -though oldies are his favorite.
