The Rt. Rev. David Loomis, affectionately known as Doc, joined the Anglican Mission in 2004 while planting a church in Hudson, OH. He later served as Canon Missioner for the AM from 2007-2009 and was consecrated a missionary bishop for the Anglican Province of Rwanda in September 2009. Doc is involved with planting new churches, raising up leaders, and opening new territory for the Kingdom in the US and Canada, and he also teaches church planting at Gordon Conwell Seminary in Massachusetts.

Over 30 new churches and missions have been planted under Doc's leadership during the last four years, and four regional Networks have been launched from a single Northeast Ohio Congregation. Doc also helps provide oversight for churches in Ontario and Quebec on behalf of the ACiC.

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 church plants in Ohio as an independent Christian church planter.

He is the author of two books (neither of which have anything whatsoever to do with church planting) and is working on his third, Windfall, a story of a circuit riding preacher in early America.

Doc holds Masters and Doctoral degrees in ministry. He is married to Ellen and the couple resides in Medina, Ohio on a small farm built in the 1830's. They are occasional beef cattle farmers and perennial snow shovelers...

 The Loomis' have four grown Christian children, ages 20 to 34, and four grandchildren.
