Minister
Rev. Doug Ferris, M.A., M.Ed
Rev. Doug first felt called to ordained ministry in high school and he eagerly responded—forty years later. Between the call and the response, Doug earned a Master of Arts degree and a Master of Education degree. He taught high school, elementary school, special education, and worked in educational administration in Canada. With his wife Evelyn and their children Elise and Wilde, Doug also taught at the Canadian International School in Egypt, and travelled widely with his family in Europe, Africa, and Asia. After returning to Canada, Doug retired from education and entered theological studies. Doug had been appointed as the congregational minister for the Eldad-Hampton Pastoral Charge while he completed the requirements for full ordination which became a reality on May 30th, 2025! In his recreational time, Doug enjoys playing live jazz music in the local community.
