Pastor Alan

Pastor Alan Church One day Pastor Alan was born. Yep, I have a belly-button too, which means I'm far from perfect — well, pretty much like the rest of the human race except for Jesus. So, now that we can relate, let me tell you a bit about the guy you see in the picture.

I was raised by two parents (thank God for that) who did their best to raise me up in the ways of the Lord in Twin Falls, Idaho. After my favorite woman preached the gospel to me, I gave my heart to Jesus at the young age of 8. The same woman would drag me to church until I got baptized in the Holy Spirit at the age of 14. From then on, I didn't need to be dragged to church; I went willingly and excitedly because a fire for God and His kingdom was lit in me and I have never, ever been the same since.

Although many are called, I became the chosen by simply answering the call. Jesus placed full-time ministry on my heart while taking a Summer Missions trip to an Arizona Indian Reservation in 1996. From that point on, the Lord has rocked my world, taking me through some college, to Bible school, to the other side of the world, including four nations to preach the gospel, and now He has me feeding some hungry youth as the Youth Pastor of REALIFE Youth Church!! It only gets better by the day!!!

I'm a living example of the power of God to transform a life, taking me from Faith 2 - ever increasing - Faith! If God can and wants to do it for me, as a person with a belly-button just like you, then He wants to do it for you too! Let Him light your fire and see where this exciting life takes you!

I exist for you,

Pastor Alan - Matt.6:33

P.S. I'm now married to a beautiful wife named Jennifer.
