brings the exposition of Scripture to a global audience through radio, podcast, and a

Church, where he served as senior pastor from 1983 until 2025. 
Today, Alistair is actively engaged with Truth For Life and speaks frequently at
conferences throughout the United States and around the world, where he encourages
pastors, theology students, and believers and proclaims the Gospel to those who have
yet to come to faith in Jesus Christ. 
Alistair is the author of several books, including Name Above All Names, Pray Big, and
Brave by Faith. His books have been translated into many languages and are read by a
global audience. 
Alistair began in pastoral ministry in 1975 after graduating from the London School of
Theology. Before joining Parkside Church, he served for eight years in Scotland,
ministering at Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh and Hamilton Baptist Church. 
Alistair and his wife, Susan, have been married since 1975. They have three grown
children and eight grandchildren.
