Doug McDonald has been a pastor for over 40 years. After

attending California Baptist University and Golden Gate Theological               

Seminary, he has pastored churches within the Southern Baptist,

Vineyard Christian Fellowship, and independent /nondenominational

streams of the church.
In his own words he writes: “I have been married to the same beautiful person for going on 54 years together.  Alice is the life of the party, the love of my life, and thankfully, the one who makes our lives work.” We have four married children, who, along with their spouses, are heroes to us and through whom God has granted us fifteen wonderful grandchildren, and four greats. This blessing of family that God has given is kind of a “kingdom of heaven on earth” for us to which we are extremely grateful.
Doug has been living in the Weston area since early 2014 and has been working as a carpenter for the last twelve years primarily building custom interior barn doors and tables as well as one-off interior finish projects. These past 12 years away from full-time pastoral ministry have been a “following Jesus backwards” season so to speak…. (Jesus having begun in the carpentry shop of Nazareth and then launching an earthly church-planting and disciple-making ministry).  Now, while always being “in ministry” he goes from a 40 year church planting-ministry to a 12 year carpentry side job, back to now pastoring at  the First Christian Church of Weston, Texas.

“We are looking forward to becoming extended family with the congregation at FCC, gaining on an already high appreciation for the Weston community and facing the challenges of the growth and change in this area of our beloved North Texas.”
