Our Beliefs and Practices
Eureka Christian Fellowship is committed to the faith passed down from the Apostles through the ages and summarized in the historic Creeds of the Church, especially the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed, which is recited at every service. We profess that salvation is found, not by works, but by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. We recognize that within Christ’s Church there are differences in belief on secondary and tertiary issues and encourage members to extend grace on doctrinal differences that do not determine one’s salvation.
We celebrate The Lord’s Supper at every service and practice believer’s baptism. We primarily use the English Standard Version (ESV) translation of the Bible, though we encourage the use whichever faithful translation you can feel most comfortable with.

He currently serves as pastor of Eureka Christian Church while also ministering as a hospice chaplain.
Doug holds a B.S. in Christian Ministry from Hope International University and is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at Western Seminary. His years in pastoral ministry and hospice chaplaincy have shaped a practical, compassionate approach to shepherding people through every season of life. He is passionate about prayer, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, expository teaching, and equipping believers to do the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11–12).
