Paul Alexander
Elder

Paul serves as the main preaching pastor for Grace Covenant Baptist Church. He grew up in a Bible-believing, church-going home, and experienced conviction of sin and conversion to Christ at age 12 through the teaching of his parents and the ministry of his local church. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995, he served for two years on staff with Cru at Michigan State University and then completed an MDiv at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 2003. He was further trained for pastoral ministry in the pastoral internship program at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, where met his wife Laurie, and co-authored The Deliberate Church with Mark Dever (Crossway, 2005). After further experience in pastoral ministry, the congregation that would become Grace Covenant called him to plant the church with them and serve as their pastor in 2009. Paul and Laurie live in the historic district of Elgin with their six children – Olivia, Braden, Jackson, Clayton, Garrett, and William.
