Alan is passionate about bringing glory to Jesus, serving his Bride and reaching those who don’t know the good news about Jesus.
He believes the church (local and translocal) is the greatest hope of the world and wants to see a vibrant Kingdom expression in every locality and network in Scotland and Ireland.
Alan has been an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland since 1993, planting in Whiteinch, Glasgow, before being released to serve the wider church. Through consultancy, training and support Alan works with many denominations, agencies and others to see new church plants and mission projects established. He is also the European Director of Forge, a training and resourcing organisation for new missional expressions of church.
He serves on the Boards of Evangelical Alliance (UK), The Light College and Collective and Sound Church (Bath). He is married to Diane, has two sons and is a fervent Glasgow Rangers FC supporter.
