Brett & Valerie McAlpin

The McAlpins have served with Mission to the World in Europe since 2014. They lived in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, for seven years where they worked on a church planting/renewal team. During their time in Bulgaria, they were able to see a Bulgarian-led church plant started in Plovdiv and helped strengthen local churches. In 2022 the McAlpins moved to England to help expand the work of the International Presbyterian Church in the United Kingdom; they landed in the north of England to partner locally with Christ Church Central Leeds.

CCCL is a young, Reformed church in the heart of Leeds, a large city in Northern England and home to five universities. Brett serves as a ruling elder, oversees discipleship and men’s ministry, and works on the church planting committee for the IPC. Valerie is mom to four children, leads women’s Bible studies and a “mums” group, and serves as treasurer for the church. Less than 2% of English people attend any religious service regularly. There are fewer than 40 Presbyterian churches in England. The need is great! Please pray for Christ Church Central and the McAlpins as they seek to shine the light of Christ in this dark corner of Europe.
