Pastor

Alex comes from Ayrshire in the west of Scotland.  His parents did not go to church, but he was invited by a friend to go to the village gospel hall.  He heard the good news there that Jesus died for sinners and there is nothing we can add to his good work.  We simply have to come to him and trust in him.  After school he worked for 14 years in the automotive industry before going to the Evangelical Theological College of Wales in Bridgend.  After that he pastored a church in Cardiff for 20 years.  He moved to Derby in 2021 and settled in Woodlands church before being called to Duffield Baptist Church in the summer of 2023.  He is married to Jemima and they have two boys.
