About

My name is David Alexander and I currently serve as the Teaching Pastor at First United Methodist Church in Mansfield, Texas. I moved to Mansfield in February 2005 after working for four years as the Youth Pastor at First UMC in Cleburne, Texas. In my role at the church I share the preaching responsibilities with our Senior Pastor and I also produce a resource we call the GPS guide. This five day reading plan published each week serves as a supplement to our messages each weekend. We also record a weekly podcast connected to GPS which you can find here.

My family is a group of five, my beautiful wife Stephanie, who works as a school teacher in Mansfield, my daughter, Anna who was born on January 8th, 2004, our second child, Jack, who was born on August 12th, 2008, and our dog, Murray. My wife and I were married June 23, 2001. Steph and I met while working at the Wesley Foundation at Texas A&M University.

I long to be a more creative person, and although I’m not the most artistic person, I do love web design and have really enjoyed the practice of blogging which I have been doing since May of ‘05. This blog serves an online catalog of my own thoughts as well as a resource to supplement my teaching in the church.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to connect with you again in the future.
