Calvary Baptist Church of Fairfield called Andrew Douglass as their new pastor on Sunday, November 3, effective immediately. He comes to the church from First Baptist, Gresham, where he was pastor the last 5 years. He and his wife Taylor have four children- Theodore, Luke, Kate, and Benjamin.
Both Andrew and Taylor are natives of Las Vegas, Nevada, where they served together in church. Speaking of their marriage, Andrew says that Taylor was “both his Rachel and his Laban”. The two knew each other for seven years before she agreed to marry him. Andrew says that just like Rachel, she was worth waiting seven years for, but just like Laban, she made him earn it!
Andrew has a bachelor’s degree in Science Education and a M.Ed in Curriculum and instruction from UNLV, and a M.DIV from the Baptist Missionary Association Theological Seminary in Jacksonville. He taught high school for 10 years before entering seminary.
