Baptist Union of Scotland appoints a new man in charge

RBCC welcomes the appointment of 

New General Director for Baptist Union of Scotland

“It is with thanks to God, and very great pleasure that I am writing to tell you

that the Council of the Baptist Union of Scotland appointed Rev. Alan

Donaldson, currently senior Pastor at Dumfries Baptist Church, to be the next

General Director at its meeting on Tuesday 12th January 2010.

“Alan was in the printing industry, trained for ministry at what was then London

Bible College and the Scottish Baptist College and subsequently has been

Youth Pastor, Assistant Pastor and Senior Pastor at Leven Baptist church and

has been Senior Pastor of Dumfries Baptist church since 2006. Alan comes

too with a whole range of other ministry experience, having worked as both an

evangelist and project manager for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

We are excited by the potential of this appointment.

“Alan is a Denny boy, well known among the ministers, well read and forward thinking. The Search Group was deeply impressed in both interviews we had with him by his creative approach, his own spiritual depth and his transparency.

“Please pray for Alan, his wife, Ruth, and their family as they make this transition. Pray also for the Dumfries church as they adjust to this news.

“Yours in Christ

Jacqueline Primrose

Convenor,

Baptist Union of Scotland “
