In 2022, Bryan and his family joined the work with the Church of Christ in Champions in Houston, TX. Bryan and his wife Mendy began their work in ministry in 1999, serving congregations in Missouri and Tennessee. In addition to ministry, Bryan served as a full-time Assistant Professor of Behavioral Sciences for Freed-Hardeman University from 2014 until 2022. Since August of 2022 he has served as a full-time Assistant Professor in the School of Education and Human Services for Amridge University. Bryan and his wife Mendy have been married since 1999 and have four children: Connor (2003), Kendyl (2006), Kinley (2011), and Carsen (2015). Bryan is the youngest of two sons, born to Kristie McAlister and the late Robert McAlister of Jonesboro, IL. Their gift to their sons was to raise them in a faithful Christian home. His late brother, R.W. (1972-2021) was also a gospel preacher. Bryan has an MA in Community Counseling (2007) and a PhD in Professional Counseling (2017). He is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). His best decision to date, is saying yes to Mendy’s constant plea for marriage. By God’s grace and Mendy’s devotion, their family is able to minister and serve their community and the Lord’s church.
