Meet the Staff

Rev. & Mrs. Doug McVay, Interim Pastor

Pastor Doug McVay (recently retired from Chapman Memorial) has gladly accepted the call to be our interim pastor until a new pastor is hired.  We are grateful that Pastor Doug is committed to sharing with us his wealth of experience, with 39 years in pastoral ministry in Kansas, Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Ohio, and Michigan. His passion is to see the local church alive and reaching out to those who need to be redeemed, restored and to find a place in ministry. His hobbies include golfing, being a grandparent, and spending time with his wife, Paula, with whom he has shared life for over 40 years.

Pastor Doug will conduct morning worship, Believers Grow, and hold regular office hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Please join us in welcoming Doug and Paula to the family, and lending your support, prayer and ministry during this transitional time.

You can contact Pastor Doug by e-mail at mcvayd@charterinternet.com.
