LANSING, MICHIGAN
The Rt. Rev.
Dr. David (Doc) Loomis
Bishop
Bishop David Loomis, affectionately known as Doc, has served as
Canon Missioner for the
Anglican Mission in the Americas since September 2007.
In that capacity as well as serving as the Network Leader of the
Heart of North America (HONA) Network, Doc is involved
with planting new churches, raising up leaders and opening new
territory for the Kingdom in the US and Canada. Doc also
serves as Chairman for the
Anglican Church in North America's (ACNA) Committee on
Mission and teaches church planting in the DMin and MDiv
programs at Gordon Conwell Seminary in Massachusetts.
A significant number of new churches and missions have been
planted under Doc's leadership during the last four years.
Beginning with a single Northeast Ohio Congregation, three
Networks have been birthed. Now, with the partnership of the
Midwest Network, there are four Networks in one region. The
region, called The Heart of North America, includes The
Lighthouse, River of Life, CrossRoads and the Midwest. Doc also
helps provide oversight for churches in Ontario and Quebec for
the
Anglican Coalition in Canada.
Doc was trained and licensed in the Christian Church (Disciples
of Christ) where he served as pastor from 1981 - 1997. From 1997
until 2003, he worked with two church plants in Ohio as an
independent Christian church planter. In 2003, Doc began working
with orthodox Anglicans in Ohio and ultimately accepted a call
as pastor of an emerging church in northeast Ohio. This
congregation, Holy Trinity, eventually affiliated with the
Anglican Mission, leading to Doc's ordination by
Bishop Thad Barnum in 2004. While serving this parish,
Doc was called to birth a family of 8 churches in the
surrounding area.
Doc holds Masters and Doctoral degrees in ministry. He is
married to Ellen, who ministers mightily as a worship leader,
and the couple resides in Medina, Ohio. The Loomis' have four
grown Christian children, ages 19 to 33, and four grandchildren.
