Pastor Doug and Rachel married on Father's Day in 1981 and have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. They moved to Slidell and planted Journey in 1996 with a small group of 17 people.

He loves the Smoky Mountains, bass fishing and tractors. PD has a Westie named Hatch who co-writes his weekly blog at DougMcAllister.com

His favorite snack is an Auntie Anne's pretzel. His favorite food is red beans and rice with sausage, collard greens , corn bread and of course sweet tea. It's best when they are slow cooked all day on a Monday.

He loves watching It's a Wonderful life and his favorite book is 'Hinds Feet on High Places' by Hannah Hurnard.

Pastor Ken has been part of the Journey team for 20 years.  He and his wife, Koni, have been married for 36 years and in ministry nearly as long.  They have 5 children and 3 grandchildren (who live too far away).

Pastor Ken will do whatever is necessary to help people become fully devoted followers of Jesus from tarping roofs and fixing toilets to leading small groups and preaching the gospel – nothing is off limits if it means showing people Christianity in action.

He also loves football and is Tom Brady’s biggest fan!

At the age of 12, Tanya Z. Camper surrendered her life to Christ at the top of a Ferris-wheel and she began serving in the church when she was fourteen.

Her favorite thing to do is hang out with her family and friends, and especially her granddaughters. She loves people and loves to sing.
