Pastor Leonard Allen has been at CLA in Waunakee for the past several decades; I have been a member of the church for the past 12 years. I truly appreciate how Pastor Allen “walks the walk” of what he preaches. Over the years, he and his wife, Becky, have opened up their home to various individuals needing a place to live, They have shared their home for months at a time; on some occasions, for a few years. Pastor (and Becky) have always worked tirelessly to meet any and all needs of their parishoners, be it a spiritual, financial, material, or service need. Pastor Allen’s wife Becky is also a great blessing as she assists him in so many ways with our children’s ministry on Sun. and Wednesday’s and also the ladies missions and encourages us in so many ways.
Pastor plans to donate his ‘Pastor Appreciation’ monetary gift from the parishioners this year, to a church employee who has an impending financial need. Being a member of CLA feels like being part of a closely knit family. I look forward to going to church every Sunday. Pastor Allen has devoted his life to facilitating people’s knowledge of and relationship with the Lord. I believe when he enters the gates of heaven, God will say, “job well done!”
