Doug became a Meals by Grace board member in 2024 after connecting with this amazing organization through the Lead Pastor at Local Church. Doug has been a member of Local Church (formerly Mountain Lake Church) since 2006 and has been on staff since 2010. Doug’s journey at Local Church started at the Forsyth campus as the Kid’s director for seven years. Then, he was transitioned to Adult Ministry/ Guest Services, where he served for three years. In 2018, he was ordained as a Pastor and now currently serves as the Connections Pastor at the Dawson campus, in which he enjoys connecting people to different ministry areas within the church and community and helping people continue their steps in their faith. Doug and his wife of 25 years, Stacie, along with their 2024 college graduate children, Preston (22) and Dawson (20), have lived in Cumming, Ga. since 2006. Before living in Georgia, Doug and his family lived in the Dallas, Texas area, where he served in ministry at The Heights Baptist Church in Student Ministry and Young Adult Ministry. Doug enjoys spending time with his family and friends, his two dogs, Bailey & Barkley, watching college football (Go Dawgs!) and MLB (Go Braves!).
