Pastors

Rev. Dr. Dennis Perry

Lead Pastor dennis@aldersgate.net

I’ve been on the front lines of human transformation for nearly four decades. I’m fascinated by relationship, religion and business. And food. I like learning about people and their experiences. I’ve been the lead pastor of Aldersgate united Methodist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, since 2002. I enjoy the company of two grown children, Jessica and Ben, and the companionship of my best friend since high school, Sharon. I love to walk along the Potomac, read business books, collect sound equipment and listen to improvisational music, live or recorded. I’d love to talk with you about it.
