About

My name is Alyssa Flaten. I am a wife, mother, pastor, author, educator, prayer counselor, artist, and—above all—a follower of Jesus. He has healed my heart, transformed my life, and ignited in me a passion to help others encounter His healing, transforming beauty through inner healing, teaching, and discipleship.

I love to learn and grow. I hold an AAt from Covenant Life Bible College and a BS in Art Education from Minnesota State University Moorhead. I am a graduate and instructor with Elijah House School of Heart Healing, as well as a graduate of Sunodia School of Ministry, where I  completed an internship in prayer counseling. I am a credentialed pastor and evangelist with the Assemblies of God and serve as a prayer counselor and teacher at Jesus School in Ames, Iowa.

I belong to Scott, my husband and ministry partner. Together, we founded Intentional Worship Ministries—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to cultivating wholehearted worship and devotion to Jesus. Scott serves as a worship pastor at Lifepointe Church in Ames, Iowa. Lifepointe is more than a weekend gathering for us—it’s our spiritual family, and there’s always room at the table--we'd love to have you there.

Behold Him is a ministry initiative of Intentional Worship Ministries. It carries the same heartbeat: to return to our first love—Jesus—by seeing Him rightly so we can live and love with whole, healed hearts.
