Congregational Minister
Doug Ferris, M.A., M.Ed
Pastor Doug first felt called to ordained ministry in high school and he eagerly responded—forty years later. Between the call and the response, Pastor 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, Pastor 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, Pastor Doug retired from education and entered theological studies. Currently, Pastor Doug has been appointed as the congregational minister for the Eldad-Hampton Pastoral Charge while he completes the requirements for full ordination. In his recreational time, Pastor Doug enjoys playing live jazz music in the local community.
