About Us

A Place to Learn, Grow, and Stand on a Firm Foundation

At Good Shepherd Apostolic Faith Church, we believe a strong walk with God begins with a strong foundation in His Word. Under the leadership of Elder Douglas C. Fields, our ministry is committed to teaching the whole counsel of God with clarity, depth, and love.

Elder Fields first received the Holy Ghost while serving in Germany as a soldier in the United States Army. This life changing encounter ignited his passion for God’s truth and set the course for his lifelong ministry. He and his late wife were blessed to raise eight children, instilling in them the values of faith, family, and service. After his military service, Elder Fields dedicated many years as a teacher in the Pitt County Public School System where he was known for not only educating minds but also sharing God’s love with the children he taught.

A teacher at heart, Elder Fields blends a love for biblical history with sound Apostolic doctrine. His teaching helps believers understand Scripture in its fullness and apply it to daily living. 

Every message is designed to strengthen faith, deepen understanding, and build a life firmly rooted in the Word.

We are a warm and welcoming family of believers who love to worship, learn, and grow together. Whether you are new to the faith or have walked with God for many years, you will find encouragement, fellowship, and spiritual growth here.

Our Mission

• Teach the Word with sound doctrine and historical insight
• Build strong disciples grounded in truth and led by the Holy Spirit
• Preserve the Apostolic foundation honoring the faith once delivered to the saints

At Good Shepherd you will find more than a church. You will find a home, a pastor who teaches with wisdom and compassion, and a community ready to walk beside you on your journey with Christ.
