On August 10, 2008, after twelve years of study and preparation with the Robert McLaughlin Bible Ministries, Pastor Doug was ordained by Pastor Robert McLaughlin at the New England Bible Conference, sponsored by Grace Bible Church, in Somerset, Mass. 

The glorification of God is the primary reason why every one of us was created and  placed on this earth.  God is glorified when an individual is "born again" (John 3:3) by believing in the Person (who He is) and the Works (what He did on the cross) of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Once born again, the individual has the opportunity to further glorify God in the post-salvation spiritual life. To whatever extent this Internet concgregation is edified in the pursuit of these goals, Pastor Doug considers his ministry to have been a success.
