Bob Dalton – Associate Pastor, Minister of Education. I grew up in the Walland Community in a family with 3 sisters and 3 brothers. Currently I am in my 22nd year as Minister of Education and Associate Pastor at Monte Vista, having previously served as pastor of four different churches during a period of 17 years. I am a graduate of UT Knoxville and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Prior to becoming a minister, I was a high school science/math teacher and a football coach. My wife, Carolyn, and I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. Hobby-wise, I enjoy fixing automobiles, while Carolyn loves photography - especially taking pictures of beautiful flowers she grows. Our hobbies relate to the two activities that make us most happy in ministry: (1) helping in God’s mission to fix broken lives and (2) striving to help people grow to become beautiful in the eyes of the Lord.
