Rev. Dr. Alex Kasirye Musoke was born as one of ten children in Uganda where he went to school.  He graduated from Makerere University in Kampala before pursuing higher education in England and Wales where he obtained degrees in Development Economics, International Education, and Theology.  While studying in England, he met Elizabeth, a law student at that time, and they got married at St. John's College, Nottingham.  He worked as a local Pastor in Toton and Derby, United Kingdom, before returning to Uganda in 1982.  Because of the political instability in Uganda, they  could not stay and so they moved to Nairobi, Kenya where Alex was ordained on Advent, 1982.  He worked as Pastor in suburbia Nairobi and as lecturer at Nairobi School.  They had three of their biological children in Nairobi where Elizabeth worked as a lawyer.  From Nairobi, they moved to Canada where Alex pursued his studies and obtained another Masters degree and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.  Alex was a full-time Pastor but also lectured in theology and sociology at respective colleges in Toronto.  In 2001, his wife Elizabeth died of cancer leaving Alex with seven children and in the process of adopting four more.  Because of his busy schedule as a Pastor, running a church and raising their children became very difficult for him.  It was at that time that his mother-in-law who lived and worked in Boston advised him to move to Boston that she may help him to raise the children.  In 2002 Alex and three of their younger children moved to Dorchester, Massachusetts where he ministered at Greenwood Memorial United Methodist Church.  In 2007, he moved to West Springfield as the Pastor at Mittineague and First United Methodist Churches.  In 2008, he became the pastor at St. Paul's Methodist Church in Ludlow in addition to Mittineague and First United Methodist Churches.  Currently he is married to Lydia, a nurse and four of his children are working, three in university and four are still in Uganda attending high school.
