Biographical Sketch
Alan Stefan Robinson is the fifth of eleven children born of Superintendent Robert Lee Robinson & Missionary Barbara Jean Robinson. He is a native of Boynton Beach, Florida.
Alan S. Robinson was educated in the Broward County School System. In 1980, he graduated with Honors as Valedictorian from Ely High, and in 1984 graduated Magna Cum Laude from Morehouse College, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. He furthered his education in medicine, seeking to become a physician, at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA., and during that time was commissioned as an officer (Ensign) in the U.S. Navy.
After having completed two years of study at Emory, the Lord had other plans for Alan S. Robinson, calling him to the ministry. With a struggle to maintain these two lifestyles and a family, Alan S. Robinson chose to yield to the Lord’s call to minister and provide for his family.
Alan S. Robinson became Elder Robinson in 1987, after being ordained by the late Bishop J.D. Husband, while serving under the late Bishop John Cooper of the Valleyview Church of God in Christ.
In 1991, after various changes in Central Georgia, as well as, the Valleyview District, the Lord led Elder Robinson to start this ministry, Abundant Life. The Lord revealed to him this name from John 10:10b “I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” Through prayer and fasting, this ministry moved from the den of his home to its present location.
Pastor Robinson serves faithfully on the local, district and state levels. Presently, he serves as Pastor of the Abundant Life Church of God in Christ, in Southeast Atlanta, Chairman of the Northeast District under the leadership of Superintendent Walter Fleming, whom he also works with as Assistant Chairman on the Central Georgia Finance Committee, Member of the Central Georgia Ordination Committee, and in October 2006, the Honorable Bishop Chandler David Owens appointed him Chairman of the Pastors and Elders Council of Central Georgia Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.
Many have seen divine providences manifested throughout this ministry by one who believes in miracles and healings, and one who speaks deliverance into the lives of people near and far. People have traveled distances to be in his ministry and experience the wonderworking power of the living God through his preaching, laying on of hands, and the blessed oil God anoints through him. The Abundant Life Church of God in Christ has grown both spiritually and naturally under the leadership of this great man of God. In April 2007, as a result of his stewardship and vision that the Lord gave him, Pastor Robinson led his church ministry to the burning of their mortgage releasing them from all financial obligations.
In April 2006, the Lord led Pastor Robinson to institute a Life Development Course, which is a process he adapted partially from the best-selling book, “The Purpose Driven Life.” This course is designed to help Christians to develop and mature spiritually. Pastor Robinson believes that every Christian should serve actively in ministry as this course seeks to address this philosophy. His teachings have been both inspiring and motivating. He continues to be a mentor, teacher, scholar, but most importantly, a committed man of God who is concerned about bringing souls to Christ.
Pastor Robinson is married to Lady Richunda Robinson whom he so lovingly refers to her as “Honey!” He has one son and three daughters.
