bio
Doug Garasic is the founding pastor of Rust City Church. In 2011, Doug had a dream in his heart for the valley where he grew up to “forget religion; find God.” At age 26, he and his wife launched their church and then moved into the area’s largest regional mall. Since then, Doug and his team have launched multiple campuses, developed a ministry training school, and impacted thousands of lives.
Now, in addition to leading Rust City, Doug speaks and coaches pastors all over the country, with a passion to help revive churches and grow God’s Kingdom.
Doug has also written several books. His first book, Notorious, reflects his heart to go after the people that no one else wants. His second book, Wayside, explores how to find God in the last place you’d expect. His third release, Becoming the Leader You’d Follow, is a leadership book focused on six practical ways to increase your influence as a leader in your home, workplace, or life. His latest book, Transformative Gospel, coauthored with his wife, was written out of a longing to help people who say they want to follow Jesus actually see their daily lives be transformed by Him.
Doug and his wife, Stephanie, live in Youngstown, Ohio with their three ginger boys: Parker, Ian, and Lincoln.
