Meet Our Team
Doug Stolhand
Lead Pastor
Growing up in Southern California, Doug and Debbie were both blessed in that their family’s relationship to God through Jesus Christ was a priority that they saw lived out. As a result, they both came to faith in Christ as kids and grew up attending the same church, where they “met” in high school.
They enjoy building relational bridges with people who don’t yet know Christ; relationships that are strong enough to carry the weight of the gospel. Doug thrives on telling people about Jesus, communicating the Word, and prayer. So, he rides (bicycling) with others, he keep bees with others, he coaches, whatever and wherever, all to find ways to associate with those who are searching for meaning in life and praying that somehow God will open the door for a conversation that can change their eternity by introducing them to Jesus.
Doug loves to ride his bike. But on his days off he likes to bake, hunt, fish, do woodwork, cook, and keep bees. Above all else Doug and Debbie's greatest joy comes from seeing God at work and being used by Him for His glory.

JUSTIN MCLARTY
YOUTH PASTOR
Justin started at EBF in June 2021. Justin grew up in Sacramento, California, and was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. His dad led him to the Lord at a young age. He grew in his faith and love for the Lord through godly parents, church activities, and youth ministries. Justin played basketball, baseball and football while growing up. His entire family sings, so music was an important part of his life both at church and school.
Justin graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago with a B.A. in Biblical studies with an interdisciplinary emphasis in Pastoral Studies in May of 2021. God has given Justin a heart for loving young people and teaching and encouraging youth in their faith, and walk with the Lord. He is eager to build relationships with all students and is sensitive to those who might be on the fringes. He is a leader who is motivated by his desire to serve the Lord and to see spiritual growth in young people, and bring unbelievers to faith in Christ.
During his Junior year at Moody, Justin met his best friend, Jamie Brewer and they married in 2021. Both Jamie and Justin have experience working with youth and are extremely passionate about discipleship and sharing the love of Christ.
