Our Pastor Alan has a title change!

On Saturday 8th June our Pastor, Alan Hamilton, was ordained at the service held at Birmingham City Church and became Rev. Alan Hamilton.

Back in July 2014 after a period of study Alan was granted a Licence to Minister in his home church of Bont Elim, Pontarddulais. He was accepted as a Minister in Training in April 2016 and was appointed Senior Minister of Swansea Cross Hands in August of that year. 

In December 2017 Cross Hands was amalgamated with Ammanford and Alan became Senior Minister of the Ammanford church.  In May 2019 he was accepted as a full Alliance Minister at the annual Elim Leaders' Summit.

Alan was one of 25 ordinands who took vows on Saturday. There was a time of worship followed by a sermon. 

Each ordinand was then given a short time to pay tribute to those who had encouraged and supported them through their journey, joined on stage by their spouse and family.

Chris Cartwright, the Elim General Superintendent then led the ordinands through their vows and the National Leadership Team laud hands and prayed for all the ordinands. The ordinands were then presented with their certificate of ordination and a new Bible.

Alan would like to thank everyone who has supported him on his journey especially Rev Jason Beynon, Rev Michael Williams, Rev Bill Chapman, Nigel James and his church family.

for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Matthew 25:35-40 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Foodbank is an ongoing Church commitment and provides a vital service to the community. The amount of people having to use the Foodbank is increasing and food stocks are getting low. If everyone donated just one time a week it would make a massive difference. You will find a large collection box in the church.
