Pastor - Doug Basler

Pastor Doug began serving here in September of 2023. He previously served congregations in Washington state and Montana. Doug attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and recently completed a Doctor of Ministry degree in the Sacred Art of Writing from Western Seminary in Holland, MI. He loves to teach the big story of the Bible and how it all centers on the good news of Jesus. Doug and Katie have three children, Addie, Jackson and Isaac and when they are not watching their kids compete in cross country, soccer, basketball, and baseball they both like to read, hike and travel. Doug grew up in the Chicago area and so loyally roots for the Cubs, the Bears, the Bulls and the Hawkeyes. Pastor Doug's first book, All Swirling and Weaving: Reflections on Reading Fiction and Growing in Faith came out in the Fall of 2025. You can follow his writing at www.douglasbasler.com.
