Pastor Bob Doble is married to Marie-Josee, the love of his life, his confidante, and spiritual compass. She is an intensive-care nurse at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and an avid marathon runner. They are the proud parents of two adult children, Genevieve and Matthew.

Pastor Bob was saved by God’s sovereign grace as a boy and his favourite Bible verse is John 3:16. His mission as a pastor is to lead the church into an ever-deepening appreciation of what it means to glorify God daily, and to enjoy Him forever. His desire is that Emmanuel Baptist Church continues to be a warm, no-frills, exuberant group of believers who are consumed by a love for Christ and for a perishing world.

Pastor Bob holds a B.Sc. degree in agronomy (University of Guelph) and a M. Divinity degree (London Baptist Seminary). His other interests include reading, gardening, baseball, cats, and Lay’s potato chips (plain).
