Alan Malchuk

Alan often reflects on a story he read to his children, The Velveteen Rabbit, where a toy becomes “real” through love, time, and relationship. In many ways, that picture has shaped how he understands the Christian life; God uses close relationships, everyday experiences, and faithful perseverance to form us into something real.

Alan came to faith in Christ as a child and has grown in that relationship through a lifetime of influences, including his family, education, and years of ministry. He helped plant Triad Christian Fellowship in 1999 after a season of prayer and partnership.

Today, Alan serves as a bi-vocational pastor and elder, dividing his time between the church and a counseling practice. He and his wife Mary, have a growing family. Alan’s desire is to walk closely with others as they grow in Christ and become more fully who God has called them to be.
