ABOUT THE LEAD PASTOR

Alan became the lead pastor of White Cliff Church in 2020. He desires to see Christ's followers grow in their knowledge of God and His Word, discern their gifts, serve the local church, and support taking the gospel to the nations. He is passionate about the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture and hopes to preach through every book of the Bible.

Alan earned degrees from Kansas State University (BS) and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv & ThM). A former army paratrooper, he met his wife Sarah while stationed in Anchorage. They were married beside a frozen lake in Anchorage in negative temperatures. Alan and Sarah came to faith in Christ after meeting and were baptized in a lake in Kansas. They have four children: Hazel, Henry, J.B., and Liam. In his free time, Alan likes to hike with his family, go for a run, read church history & the Puritans, and catch salmon & halibut.
