Alan Leese, Youth Pastor and family
Our new Youth Pastor Alan Leese comes to us from Scotland where he served as youth worker for Perth Baptist Church for seven years. In that time he got married to Liz, then became a dad to Gabrielle and Ben.
Apart from faith and family Alan's big passions in life are Manchester United FC and Blue Cow. Now he's in Poynton he wants to see God's kingdom grow here;
"I became a Christian in my teens and know the pressures and pitfalls but also the possibilities that are real to young people who want to find God and live 100% for him. My attitude is that we've got to unconditionally stand by "the youth of today" and walk the path with them. I'm looking forward to working with the young people and everyone who cares for them, to be part of something amazing"
Alan is responsible for the Energy Groups.
