Missions Team
Meet Alan, our dedicated mission pastor who joined our staff in 2006 as the student pastor. Alongside his wife Lisa, he has served in various states, including Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. In 2012, Alan took on the role of being our first mission pastor, bringing his enthusiasm to motivate and involve our church in global missions. With a knack for organizing logistics, he enjoys creating opportunities for our church family to share the message of Jesus worldwide. Alan’s motto, “You’ll never know until you go,” reflects his belief in the transformative power of experiencing and spreading the love of Christ.
Alan and Lisa have three grown children and two grandchildren — Lindy (5) and Lambert (3). This year marks Alan’s 19th year of faithful service at FBCO.
