Pastor Alec Sickel
Pastor Alec Sickel Youth Ministries
Bio

After graduating from Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa, Georgia and marrying his wonderful wife, Jessie, Alec joined the staff at Murrysville Alliance Church in September 2017 as Assistant Pastor of Youth Ministries.

Having grown up with Cedar Point practically in his backyard, Alec developed a lifelong love for roller coasters. Along with seeking the occasional adrenaline rush, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, Chloe and CJ, exercising, playing sports, watching movies, and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes.

More than anything, Alec longs to see people know and trust the gospel—and to see believers live it out boldly. He is passionate about being used by Christ to help followers of Jesus be the church wherever, whenever, and with whomever God places in their path.
