Douglas Anthony Goodman was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and raised in Baltimore, Maryland.  In 1965 he obeyed the gospel and was baptized by Brother Humphrey Foutz at the Central Church of Christ. He is happily married and a proud father of seven children.

        Brother Goodman takes great pride in being a home-grown preacher raised under the tutelage of Brother Humphrey Foutz, who ministered to one of the largest African-American congregation's within the Churches of Christ. As a result of his dedication, Brother Goodman has worked with many ministries that include; Bible School teacher; Evangelism Director; Song Director; campus ministry at the University of Maryland, and singing with Outreach Singers.  Brother Goodman has been involved in church-establishment ministries, helping churches along the East Coast. He served as interim minister at the Central Church of Christ, in preparation for upcoming mission work.  In the summer of 1987, a two-week crusade took place in Annapolis, Maryland.  As a result of this effort, the Capital Church of Christ was established with twenty-six members who met in a store-front.

        Under Brother Goodman's leadership the church purchased three acres of land and renovated an adjoining school building that was used for disabled children.  His continued effort to spread the gospel throughout Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, through evangelism and discipleship, has brought about an increase in church membership.  In April of 2000, a 350-seat auditorium was added.  The church currently operates 23 ministries, and is self-supported by Christian's committed to doing God's will.  Since the inception of the congregation, over 450 souls have been baptized into Christ.  Church events such as gospel meetings, evangelistic campaigns, seminars, ladies programs, youth rallies, and fellowship days are used to spread the word in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.

        In keeping his commitment to the Great Commission, Brother Goodman has preached the gospel on radio and written a variety of sermon/workshop booklets.  In addition to his local work, Brother Goodman conducts speaking engagements ranging from gospel/revival meetings, evangelism workshops, anniversaries, youth rallies, and lectureships.

        Prior to entering the ministry, Brother Goodman pursued an education at the Community College of Baltimore and R.E.T.S. School of Electronics.  Through his energetic and entrepreneurial background, he started his own painting and interior design business.

        His leisure interests include reading, listening to jazz, and playing golf. Bro. Goodman is involved in home improvement and real estate investing, however his greatest joy is spending quality time with his family.
