Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Alastair Vance. I’m married to Liz and have three kids – Nathan, Noah and Katie. We moved from Ireland to make our home in North Carolina, USA in October 2007.
I’m part of a great church in Durham (North Carolina, USA) called Story Church. Our vision is help people embrace the story they were meant to live – God’s story. If you’re looking for a life-giving church in the area we’d love to meet you.
I have a passion for Worship. I love to lead people into God’s presence like nothing else. This blog is used for mainly airing my thoughts around what worship is and how we can lead worshipful lives. Not just on a Sunday morning, but every hour of every day.
The words in these blog posts are my thoughts and are not necessarily shared by other staff or members of Story Church. I accept I can get things completely wrong at times. I’m on a learning process, and your feedback will help me grow.
You’ll find what I think are some of my best posts here.

Thanks Paul!
we worship Christ when we encounter Him.
As worship leaders and worship writers, we are to lead and feed His sheep.

A worship leader came upon my heart the other day, I asked Father what to say to them.
He responded with 1) encounter Christ and 2) feed my sheep
Are we preparing and tilliing the soil for the Word to be planted?
I used to have a worship leader who has now gone on to be with the Lord… He used to say that being a worship leader, simply meant to go first.
Thanks for the link love! I added you as well. Congratulations on your recent move to Carolina (Gods Country). We may make that move one day soon ourselves (Charlotte). Looking forward to following along. Thanks again!
Thanks for the link love. I’ll be doing the same.
One thing that I have learned over the years about worship is that its not about the music, its about a lifestyle. Every moment of our lives need to be worship to God. That is what I am striving for everyday to live a life of worship. It is a blessing to lead others into the presence of God and watch how the hand of the Almighty can change, restore and save souls. The song, “Healer” has become an athem in my life.
