Relentless Pursuit of Purpose

Alex delivers dynamic talks to audiences large and small on the topics of leadership, purpose, and apologetics. If you want a speaker who can help your audience, attendees, or employees connect the dots in their lives in order to become who they were designed to be, then Alex is your man!

Alex McElroy is an international speaker, apologist, leadership advisor and the author of the book “Blueprint for Bible Basics” and writes a blog titled “Relentless Pursuit of Purpose.” He is the Pastor of Education at Engage Community Church and formerly held the same position at New Life Covenant Southeast Church, led by Pastor John F. Hannah with 20,000 members. For over 14 years Alex has served in both youth and adult teaching ministries. Alex has also trained hundreds of teachers and ministers so they are equipped to deliver lessons in Biblical study, purpose, leadership and Apologetics in order to maximize their effectiveness in and for the Kingdom of God. He is a firm believer that everyone is born on purpose with a purpose. He teaches people all over the world to find the purpose God has placed inside of them and to deliver it to the world.

Though living in his purpose now, Alex has experienced and overcome significant struggles and setbacks in life. He suffered the loss of his father at a young age, dealt with drug and alcohol abuse in his college years, and found himself in an angry, depressed and lonely place as he endured financial hell that resulted in bankruptcy and desperation. Thankfully, God used these arduous moments to reveal Himself. Alex came to see God in a new way and developed a desire to learn the Word of God. In learning the Word, Alex cultivated a strong relationship with God and came to believe in Jesus' example of discipleship both in church and professionally. As a Christian Apologist, Alex is able to connect the Bible, historical facts, and scientific evidence to the purpose we each have within us.

Beyond his role at church, Alex has been instrumental in implementing his message of leadership and purpose in the business world. He has worked in and enjoyed tremendous success in the mortgage industry, insurance and financial services, as well as in the arena of energy efficiency. He is also a dedicated husband to his supportive wife of twelve years and a loving father to two beautiful daughters who continue to inspire and push him to be a better man.

Now, Alex hopes to help others cultivate their own authentic relationship with God. He continues to disciple hundreds of teens and adults through one-on-one mentoring, small group meetings, coaching and electronic communications. As the head of the Education Department at Engage Community Church, he embraces every opportunity to teach both youth and adults the foundational concepts of the Word of God, the principles of the Kingdom of God, and how to live out the purpose God has placed in each of us. This is because Alex is a firm believer that God has created everyone on purpose with a purpose.
