The Rev. Alan W. Hansen.

The Rev. Alan W. Hansen is a cradle Episcopalian called to ordained ministry in 1979. He was ordained in 1982. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and is married to his wife of 27 years Teresa, with whom he has three children. Jonathan is a senior and Whitney is a sophomore, both at the University of Georgia. Michael is entering his junior year of high school.

Father Hansen has served congregations in Kentucky and Florida and has transitioned two parishes that had plateaued and were in decline. In both cases, the parishes enjoyed numerical, spiritual and financial growth. In 2002, Father Hansen was called as President and CEO of ACTS 29 Ministries based in Atlanta, GA.

ACTS 29 has a 33-year history of bringing renewal, growth and new life in the Holy Spirit to congregations throughout the United States and abroad. Today, Father Hansen leads numerous ministry events that include, evangelism, discipleship, prayer, men's ministry, vestry retreats, seminary training, regional events and healing ministry. ACTS 29 also hosts YouthQuake, the largest youth event in the Anglican world.

ACTS 29 Ministries continues to be a powerful resource for congregations looking to go deeper in their spiritual journey. Father Hansen has presented conferences in major cities across the country, including Denver, Seattle, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, Detroit, Memphis, Jacksonville, Charleston, Charlotte, Albany, Sarasota and Springfield. We look forward to bringing an event to your area soon. For more information about ACTS 29's resources and events, log onto www.a29.com.
