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. Soon, we will also be launching a weekly podcast that dovetails with this resource.
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. We love watching sports (yes, my wife rules!) and spending time at home watching Anna and our dog Murray try to get along. It’s great theater!
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. Recently, I shifted the focus on my blog from an online catalog of my own thoughts to a more expansive resource to supplement my teaching in the church.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to connect with you again in the future.
