The purpose of my life is to cultivate a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, to then lead with a quiet and intense heat that melts and moves everything for God.
About Me.
Hey! My name is Alex Carney. I grew up in Wisconsin but currently call Georgia home. You can find me on a road trip, playing sports, or doing a workout at Orange Theory. I thrive in community, and family means everything to me! After graduating from Kingswood University, I stepped into a full-time vocational ministry role where that has been my job for the last 8 years. I have built ministries from the ground up, lead initiatives in a fast-paced work environment, and exercised the gift and passion for leadership development, creating vibrant and healthy culture, discipleship, and most importantly deeply caring for people. I hope to continue to use the gifts and abilities God has given me wherever that might be. If you are interested in hearing more I would love to connect with you!

Endorsements.
“Alex possesses the extraordinary ability to excel in any situation. This is a result of God gifting Alex with an enormous pastoral heart, exceptional leadership competencies, and exceeding wisdom beyond his years. God has time and again granted favor to Alex in a variety of ministry environments and I am confident that He will continue to do so! Above all this, and most meaningfully, Alex loves Jesus.”
— Mack Suits, Associate Director of Pastoral Ministries, 12Stone Church
“Alex is the kind of leader everyone wants and needs on their team. His wide skill set allows him to lead from ideation to execution, while making everything better along the way. His heart for the Lord and his heart for people is both clear and true. He is a strong spiritual leader as well as a strategic thinker. He is a team leader as well as team player. He is teachable and coachable while also gifted at coaching. Honestly, I’ve found very few leaders of his age to be as tethered, gifted, and purely anointed as Alex. He is a territory taker and Kingdom leader. No question.”
— Heather Semple, Senior Pastor, Freedom House Church
“In over 40 years of ministry, I have had the honor to work alongside thousands of young men and women. Few would rank as high in my book as Alex. Alex not only has the skills needed to lead people but more importantly he has the heart. People know that he loves God and that he loves them. He is comfortable with how God wired and made him, and because of that others want to be around him also. Alex has a desire to see people come into a deep relationship with Jesus, and he shows that by his example. Everyone who gets around Alex is better because of that.”
— Reed DeVries, Teaching Pastor & Strategy Partner, Celebrate Community Church
