Doug serves honorably and reverently. He is very easy to talk to and is always willing to help anyone in need. Doug, Nedia and their two children have been an integral part of the growth of this congregation over the years. Doug’s favorite verse is Deuteronomy 29:29 and his goal as an Elder is given in Matthew 22:37 & 39.

spacer Bryan Coulter E-mail Bryan

My favorite scripture is John - chapter 15 where we are challenged to grow and bear fruit.

My desire as an elder is to give my very best effort to serve our members in a manner that will encourage and strengthen their faith in Christ. I hope to help strengthen our congregation by spreading my love for the Truth of God’s Word and its power in our lives. My favorite thoughts are that as Christians we understand we are forgiven daily by prayer and to learn to focus on the new day before us. My pledge is that our congregation grow in spirit of God’s love for us and to one another.
