Alexander was an elder in the Kiltearn Church for many years. On 14 Jun 1708, the Session instructed him to "deal with the generality of the people of Killichoan absent from church, to attend the ordinances on the Sabbath day, with certification that if they continue in that Godless practice they would be obliged to answer the Session and be censured accordingly." On 20 Feb 1710, he and his uncle, Donald, were appointed to keep the Session informed as to those in their locality who did not regulary attend church.
