Doug embraced Christ as his Lord and Savior as a senior in high school.  As he entered into college, God placed on his heart a desire to teach and disciple others in their faith.  After receiving his B.A. in Elementary Education, he taught for two years at a Christian school before going to seminary to receive his M.Div. in Christian Education at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. 

Through the various experiences he has had teaching and leading in schools, camps, and churches, God has continued to burden his heart to see the family of God discipled in community.  Doug has served as the Children’s Pastor since 2003.

Tony in 2000, and now called full time as our Executive Pastor.  

LaGrange Baptist Church ordained Rick into the Gospel Ministry on November 7, 1999 and called him to full time vocation in March 1, 2009.  It is Rick's great pleasure to serve Christ here along side so many of you who God used to help him grow.

Benjamin was born in Bowling Green, KY but grew up most of his life outside of Cleveland, Ohio. By God's grace, he was blessed with Christian parents who were faithful to take him to church whenever the doors were open. Benjamin was saved at a young age, and was actively involved in church, but it was not until college that he was able to follow Christ apart from his family. This was a time of great growth and rejoicing in the gospel which led to the desire to be a full-time minister of the gospel. Benjamin graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2004 with a degree in Music Education and in 2005 moved with his new wife, Amanda, to Louisville to start seminary.

In December of 2008, both Ben and Amanda graduated from Southern Seminary with Masters of Divinity, his being focused in the area of missions and church growth.

Ben and Amanda welcomed their first child, Eleanor into the world March of 2009!
