Doug is completing 20 years ordained ministry with the United Methodist Church. His leadership includes both national and international ministry throughout Europe, Mexico, the Southeastern USA, and Texas. Doug is a graduate of Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary. In 1987 Doug served as a guest teacher during the Fall semester at the Metodistkirken Studiesenter in Bergen, Norway, leading classes in Bible Study Method and Small Group Ministry. He returned to Norway in 1992, where he provided innovative leadership for the first new United Methodist congregation in Norway in more than a generation.
