REV DR Doug Calhoun

Doug’s ministry experience focuses on people seeking transformation in Christ. This internal focus combines with his missional desire that God’s glory fill the whole earth. Doug’s ministry began working with university students on InterVarsity staff and then as an IFES staff member. Moving to the church arena, he has served in a wide range of roles. As a pastor, he has traveled to five continents resourcing national churches, leading mission teams, serving on boards, and forming or strengthening mission partnerships.

Doug loves to teach, to mentor, and guide others in their walk with God. He is a spiritual director and Enneagram teacher; he also presents workshops and pilgrimages with wife Adele. Doug is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div. and D.Min. in Christian Spirituality). Doug currently serves on the faculty of the Soul Care Institute and chairs the board of the Del Camino Connection. He is adjunct faculty and board member for PAX Center for Christian Spiritual Formation and has also been adjunct faculty to The Transforming Center and a founding member of the Transforming Church Network. He enjoys cooking, movies, nature, wine tasting, and (when he gets a chance) scuba diving.
