Hi, We are
Mark & Sheryl

Douras.

Get to know us
​a little better.

We currently live in Dunlap, Illinois where we serve as counselors at a Christian counseling center.  Sheryl is also a published author.
​

We are both graduates of Fort Wayne Bible College.  Mark received his master’s degree from Asbury Seminary.   We are certified grief counselors and mental health coaches. We also have certification in play therapy,
​art therapy, and pet therapy.  
 
  
​
​
We have been in ministry since 1982.  Some of our ministries have included senior pastor, youth pastor, family ministries, day care and preschool director, adjunct professor at a Christian college, short-term missions leadership, missionaries, counseling, grief ministry and prayer ministry.
​
God chose to take our son Jonathan home in 2005.  Since then, God has provided unique opportunities for us to minister to many who have experienced tragedies in life.

​In our free time some of the things that we enjoy are hiking, riding bikes, canoeing, fishing, traveling, music, friends and family.
