Alan Bondar

Age: 32

Alan Bondar is the pastor and founder of Messiah Reformed Church, a native of Baltimore, now residing in Fort Myers, Florida. Alan was a Youth Director for almost a decade in the PCA denomination. Alan’s theological background started in the Baptist denomination, which led him to Word of Life Bible Institute after two years at Essex Community College studying music. Alan developed a deep passion to minister to teenagers while at Word of Life. He received his BS in Bible with an emphasis in Youth Ministry at Philadelphia Biblical University. While there, Alan was introduced to Reformed Theology. He began working in the PCA denomination as a Youth Director, while enrolled at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh and now is enrolled at Reformed Theological Seminary working towards the completion of his MA in religion.

While searching the scriptures through his daily studies, the Lord opened his eyes to the truth of Full Preterism. Alan is very passionate about knowing the truth of the Scriptures and is overjoyed by the support of the preterist community and his church family at MRC. He thoroughly enjoys preaching, teaching, and spending time with his wife, Gail Ann, to whom he has been married for 10 years, BUT you most likely will find him watching football during the Fall/Winter season. He is indeed a devout Raven’s Fan!! Alan enjoys watching movies to relax such as Batman Begins, The Dark Night, Lucky Number Sleven, and loves watching the show 24 (which he has seen the first 6 seasons over 3 times each). He loves to read, play the game series, Catan, and enjoys the company of his family and friends whenever possible. Alan has just finished writing his first book, Reading the Bible through New Covenant Eyes, which, Lord willing, will be released by early January 2010. He is currently working on his follow-up book, Living Our Lives With New Covenant Eyes.
