Rev. Peter Moore, Senior Pastor
Peter has been Senior Pastor here at Douglas Baptist since September 2005 when he returned from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia where he attended Acadia Divinity College and served at Bethany Memorial Baptist Church. Pastor Peter’s call to Douglas was a home coming of sorts. A native New Brunswicker, he had the opportunity to serve as Youth Pastor at Douglas from 1997-2002. Peter grew up in Saint John and moved to the Moncton area to attend ABU which is where he met his wife Patricia. They married in 1996 and now have five wonderful children (Adam, Caleb, Nathanael, Jonah, Leah). Peter enjoys fishing in the spring, biking in the summer, going for walks in the orchard in the fall and snow in the winter. He is also known to slip in a Peanuts story during his messages anytime of year!
