The Council
The council acts as a coordinating and decision-making body on behalf of the Church. Each of our seven key ministry teams is represented on Council: Deacons, Missions, Facility & Finance, Adult, Youth, Children and Worship. The Council is responsible to the Church and under our model of congregational governance, final authority rests with the Church members.
Our Staff
Our staff are passionate. They have been called by God and His church here in Douglas to lead and oversee the day-to-day operations of the church with the help and support of our seven ministry teams. Their role is not to do it all but to encourage and equip others.
Meet Our Staff
Rev. Peter Moore
Lead Pastor

They married in 1996 and have five wonderful children: Adam (who is married to Faith), Caleb, Nathanael (who is married to Jillian), Jonah (who is married to Morgan), and Leah. He is the proud Papa of Elizabeth and Jude! Peter enjoys fishing in the spring, biking in the summer, going for walks in the orchard in the fall and lots of snow in the winter! Peter has been the Lead Pastor here at DBC since September 2005 when he returned from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia following the completion of his master’s degree at Acadia Divinity College. While attending ADC his also served at Bethany Memorial Baptist Church. Peter’s call to Douglas was a homecoming of sorts as he had the opportunity to serve as Youth Pastor at Douglas from 1997 to 2002. Peter serves as on the Licensing Committee of the York Association of Baptist Churches and sits on the Board of Directors for Wycliffe Bible Translators of Canada.
Patricia Moore
Children's Director
Patricia has a passion for children, parents (and really all people). Pair that with her deep love for Jesus, and you’ll see Patricia faithfully serves and shines the light of Jesus to those around her. Patricia knows a thing or two about kids—she has five of her own, and two precious grandchildren too! Patricia has served with her husband (Pastor Peter) for over 20 years here at DBC. Patricia loves to cook, plan special events and spend time with family & friends. In February 2018, Patricia joined the staff of Douglas Baptist Church on a part-time basis.
Nathanael Moore
Worship Director
Nathanael Moore is a bivocational worship leader and biologist from Douglas, NB. He and his wife Jillian Moore (Lewis) were married in the spring of 2022 and live in Fredericton. Nathanael currently serves part-time as the Worship Director at DBC, the church he grew up attending. Nathanael’s duties at DBC include preparing songs for services, leading the worship and tech teams both for online and in-person experiences, and helping musicians grow. He’s passionate about music, sports, and biology, but most importantly he cares about creating a space for people to meet God where they are. When he isn’t playing his guitar or another instrument, you’ll find him fishing on the Wolastoq River – although who knows if he’ll catch anything…
Maggie Gilmore
Youth Administrator and Communications Assistant
Maggie Gilmore is the Youth Administrator and Communications Assistant at DBC. Together with her husband, Eric Gilmore, they serve in leading our youth ministries. Maggie and Eric have a love for youth and want to see teens grow in their relationship with God. They have developed this passion during their time in the camping ranch ministry. When not at the church, you can find Maggie at the barn, spending time with her horses. Her favorite thing is getting the opportunity to combine her love of horses with showing people the love of Christ. Maggie has been an active member of the Douglas Baptist community for many years. She joined the staff of DBC in 2025, serving as a summer intern, then as Communications Assistant and now Youth Administrator.
