Doug became our pastor in August 2023. He is married to Grace and they have one son, Jonah. He grew up in Ludlow, KY, graduated from Coastal Carolina with a BA in Political Science, and obtained a commission into the Army through ROTC. He served as an Infantry Officer and then served in the Coast Guard. After 9 years of service, he attended The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and obtained a Master of Divinty.
During his military service the Lord convicted him of his sin and need of a savior through the faithful example of a fellow soldier who shared the gospel with him. Several years later the Lord called him out of the military and into vocational ministry. He met and married Grace in seminary, where she also obtained a Master of Divinity.
