Hello! My name is Doug Herbert, and I’ve been the Senior Pastor here at Woodland Drive Church since July 2017. I’m an Alberta boy, born and raised in the Camrose area. I’m married to Judy, my college sweetheart, and we’ve got four adult children: Ryan, Jordan, Josh and Christina. Judy and I love living in the beautiful city of Lacombe! We have been involved in pastoral ministry since 1987, having previously served several other churches here in Alberta, as well as one in Nova Scotia. 

My formal training and education as a pastor began at Mountain View Bible College, which was in Didsbury, AB, at the time, before it moved to Calgary and became Rocky Mountain College. I also attended Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO, where I earned Master’s and Doctoral Degrees. I find great joy in sharing my love of Scripture, theology, worship and cultural engagement, guided by the insights and convictions of the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. 

I also like to have fun watching movies, drinking coffee, playing board games and various sports, swimming, cycling, and walking – usually accompanied by our lovable furry friends: Scamp and Bella!

Hi, my name is Annette Allen and have been a member of Woodland Church of the Nazarene for about 26 years. I am blessed by Pastor Doug & Judy and our wonderful church family. I am presently serving on the church board and as the missions president .

I have 2 grown children and 7 grandchildren who give me much happiness and fun. I love spending time with them and bragging about them to whoever will listen.

Merle brings a wealth of experience in various churches and mission teams to his position as a Church Board member at Woodland Drive Church. He has blessed our church family in many ways - with his carpentry and handyman skills, his good-natured personality, and - not least - by providing delicious coffee that he himself has roasted!

Hello! My name is Heidi Scharf. I live in Lacombe, am married and have one son who is now 23 years old! I work full time as an Educational Assistant at an Elementary school and in my spare time I love to Cross Stitch and Camp.

I have been attending the Lacombe Woodland Community Church of the Nazarene for 11 wonderful years! I am the Church Board Secretary and have had the privilege of serving in this capacity for the past 5 years! I love being part of our church. The people in our congregation are generous, supportive, kind and loving and it truly does feel like my second family. Hope you'll stop in and see what we're all about!!

Judy is our church’s Director of Discipleship Ministries. She and Pastor Doug have been a part of the Woodland Drive Church since the summer of 2017. She loves working with her hands, helping people in many different ways, walking and playing with her two Goldendoodles, and enjoying her family - especially her new grandson!
