Pastor Alan B. Christensen was the senior Pastor of Hope Evangelical Free Church, Wilton, CT,
from October 1970 through July 1995. He was a gifted teacher and preacher that was much loved
by his congregation. In the late 1970s (1976 - 1979), sensing the need to teach the answers God
provides in the Bible to many questions about the christian faith, he wrote a long series of Sunday
School lessons titled Questions We Want Answered. In 2010 these lessons were combined
into a book and published by Hope Evangelical Free Church.
