Alan Gee
Originally growing up in the East End of London, I came to York as a student during the 1990s and ended up never leaving! My wife, Steph, and I have been part of Gateway ever since we married and we now have two grown-up children. For us as a family, we’ve loved being part of the church, and particularly for it to have been the place where our children (now in their 20s) have been able to grow in their own relationships with Jesus.
During the week, I’m occupied mostly working for a global financial technology company. At Gateway, I serve a one of the trustees (we are responsible for making sure that Gateway York CIO (our legal entity) uses its resources effectively and follows all the many different pieces of legislation that apply to us as charity, as an employer, around safeguarding, etc.), and co-lead the band that leads worship on Sundays and at other times. Apart from that, Steph and I help out with the Friday night “Lightz” youth group — a great bunch of our teenagers!
