Pastor Alan, his wife, Anne, son, Bennett and daughter, Abigail

Pastor Wright's Biography

Having committed his life to the Lord as a young teenager, our Pastor heard the unmistakable voice of God call him into the ministry as a college senior. Since that holy moment, Alan has served as a youth minister, and later, Pastor of a vibrantly growing church in Durham, NC. He was called as Senior Pastor of Reynolda Presbyterian Church in November, 1996.

Alan grew up in Greensboro, NC, and is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where he graduated with honors in 1984. He was educated at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, and was Valedictorian of his class. 

He met his marvelous wife, Anne, at Chapel Hill. Anne, a Winston-Salem native, attended Carolina and graduated from Wake Forest University. 

Since their marriage in 1985, Anne has spent three years teaching Kindergarten, many years as Alan's partner in ministry, and several years as a full-time Mom. 

The Wright's have two children: Bennett and Abigail who teach them about the "abundant life".

Alan enjoys writing and has had three books published. They are A Chance at Childhood Again, Lover of My Soul, and The God Moment Principle. The first book, A Chance At Childhood Again, has now been released with a new title, A Childlike Heart.
