Douglas Forrester, Pastor
Doug is a graduate of Emory & Henry College, and holds a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University Divinity School. He has been in the ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church for twelve years, serving as a student chaplain at Duke Medical Center, the Associate Pastor of Warwick Memorial UMC in Newport News, and the Senior Pastor of the three-church Prince George United Methodist Circuit before coming to Crozet UMC in 2005.
Doug is married to Tracy Forrester, a fourth-grade teacher at Brownsville Elementary School in Crozet. Doug likes to compose music, read, write, tinker with computers, (especially Macs) and go to the park with his daughters. He has been known to go for a run on the days he gets out of bed early enough.
Doug and Tracy are the parents of Ellen, who is seven years old, a dancer, singer, bookworm, actress, fashion designer, and purveyor of some pretty good knock-knock jokes. A year ago, Doug and Tracy became the parents of Claire, who is learning to walk and talk and is developing a love for Sandra Boynton books.
