Time in Current Position: 11 Years
Previous Position: Associate, Missions, Students
Favs: Coffee Roasting, Reading, Company Makeovers, Music
Doug and his family have served with the people of Northwest for 20 years. He is an "experience and application" based teacher with a passion for clarity and commitment to God's Word holding degrees in Decision Sciences, Business, Biblical Studies and a Doctorate of Ministry. Doug still consults and helps companies with makeovers. He says it keeps him sharp and among the people. Doug has published one book, "From Here to There", trying to help people and churches to have healthy departures.
Doug says,
- "I want to live to be 120 (years old) and go to meet the Lord face to face after teaching on my birthday. I might actually be a somewhat accomplished teacher by then."
- "You show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith by my works," while crediting the book of James.
- "I would rather disciple someone in a trench doing something, living, serving than teach from a podium."
Years ago he coined the phrase "people are what we do" and his life is dedicated to leading people to follow God. His primary focus is to disciple people in the trenches of life. To wit, Doug travels around the world with mission teams from the church, works in the community, trains teachers in the church and leads a one-to-one discipleship program.
