Doug has come full circle. A Knoxvillian by birth, he lived in the Louisville, Atlanta and Nashville areas before joining the ministry team at Redemption Church in August of 2002.
Doug started ministering to children and their families in 1979 and began fulltime service under Pastor Charles Cowan of Nashville, TN in 1985. Other mentoring influences include Willie George; Jim Wideman; Pastors Ed and Nora King of Redemption Church; and Harry Swilley, Doug's father.
Witnessing people as they experience God in meaningful ways - everything from answered prayer to leading a child to Christ and from tasting new levels in worship to conforming to the image of Jesus - these are his greatest rewards.
He loves spending time with the wife of his youth, Paul Anne and their two children's families whether camping, sight-seeing, sports or sharing about ministry.
