Doug Blume
I was born in Indiana and love the Hoosier state with all my heart. I come from a family of 5 boys and grew up playing every kind of sport imaginable. I became passionate about ministry when I attended Kanakuk Kamp in the late 80’s and have been hooked ever since. I spent my years in the camping ministry at Kanakuk and Spring Hill Camp and then spent some time working in student development at Greenville College and Taylor University. I have been at Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church since January of 2000 in the young adult role and more recently in working with community groups. I have learned much during my time in church ministry and thank the Lord for this season of my life.
Family
I met my wife Karyn at Greenville College and we have been married for 15 years. We have three children that have blessed our lives tremendously. Hannah is 13, Abby 11, and Tyler is 7. We also have two dogs named Bodie and Cooper.
Passions
I am very passionate about my family and am very protective of my time with them. I also love all kinds of sports and find that now basketball, tennis, golf, and hunting get most of my time. I love to see people grow and mature and am very thankful that my occupation allows me to do this every day.
Secret Ambition
I would love to learn how to play the guitar and would love to travel Europe with my wife.
If I could recommend one book to someone

Favorite Movie

What's currently playing on my iPod
Tim McGraw. I like a little of everything, but like to stick to a little country, 80’s and 90’s with a mix of good Christian stuff.
