Associational Mission Strategist
Dr. Douglas Vaughan
Doug is a 1985 graduate of the University of Texas in Arlington. In affirming God’s call to ministry, Doug continued his education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He completed a Master of Divinity degree in 1990 and finished a Master of Religious Education degree in 1993. He completed a Doctor of Ministry degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000.
Doug and his family moved to Reno, Nevada in 1994 so he could serve on staff with Steamboat Baptist Church. Then, in January 1996, he helped launch Crosspoint Community Church. He first served as associate pastor with Crosspoint, but in 2001 he began serving as the lead pastor, and only last year stepped aside from his role as Crosspoint’s pastor.
For the past three years, while still serving as pastor, he has worked in a part-time capacity with the Sierra Baptist Association. And at the association’s annual meeting in October 2020 the messengers voted to call Doug as the next area missionary. With Dr. Eddie Miller’s retirement last year, Doug is now serving in that role.
He is excited about the future of the association.

Those who are now serving on the team include Mark Morton, Jim Ricks, Sam Stanton, Joe Taylor, Tom Thomas, Jared Trotter, and Austin White.
