Pastor Douglas D. Stauffer's connection to Faith Independent Baptist Church is more than a position; it is part of his personal testimony.
After graduating from high school in 1977, Pastor Stauffer joined the United States Air Force and was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base. While living in Northwest Florida, the Lord began dealing with his heart. In 1980, he trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Not long after that, Faith Independent Baptist Church in Niceville became a major part of his spiritual growth. It was here that he was grounded in the Scriptures, baptized by immersion, strengthened in sound doctrine, and pointed toward a life of serving the Lord.
Nearly forty years later, the Lord brought him full circle. Pastor Stauffer became the pastor of Faith Independent Baptist Church in June 2019. The same church that helped change his life as a young Airman became the church he would later be called to shepherd.
Pastor Stauffer surrendered to the call to preach in 1984 and has spent decades preaching, teaching, writing, and ministering in churches across America and on mission fields abroad. His ministry has included Bible conferences, prophecy conferences, revival meetings, rescue mission work, jail ministry, nursing home ministry, radio, television, and extensive Bible teaching.
He is the author of more than two dozen books, including the well-known One Book series, several devotional works, prophecy studies, and his latest book, America at 250: A Republic If You Can Keep It. He was also commissioned by Oxford University Press to serve as a contributing and consulting editor for the study notes of the New Pilgrim King James Study Bible.
Pastor Stauffer's preaching is centered on the Bible, the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the importance of sound doctrine, and the need for Christians to stand faithfully in a confused and compromising day. His desire is to help people know the Saviour, grow in the Scriptures, strengthen their families, and serve the Lord with conviction.
Pastor Doug and his wife, Judy, count it a privilege to serve the people of Faith Independent Baptist Church and the Niceville community. They would love to meet you and personally welcome you to Faith.
