PASTORS
DAVE FERGUSON
Dave and Shirley met at the University of Maryland at College Park in 1987, been married since 1993, and have five children, and four grandchildren.
Shirley is creative and loves to teach the Bible, Shakespeare, and sewing. Dave was ordained as a pastor of Oak Ridge in 2013 and has served as a staff pastor and volunteer pastor.
Dave became a Christian as a teenager shortly after his parents divorced. He struggled with feelings of guilt and anxiety for a long time as a younger man. As a college student, Dave was finally able to trust Jesus' promise of forgiveness and that made all the difference in his life! Through the inspiring example of mature believers around him, he caught a vision for intimacy with Christ, leadership and the Gospel.
Dave has a passion to help people grow in their faith and discover the gifts that God has given them, starting with salvation and seeing people raised up in leadership.
Dave loves Tolkien, gaming, Church history and Indian food. Shirley enjoys Asian Drama, Luke Skywalker and any movie with Bruce Boxlietner.
DAVID DEGLAU
David was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania along with an older and younger sister. Even though intellectually hearing the gospel and being around church as a kid it wasn’t until working through personal and family struggles with the help of close friends that he fully started to understand, enjoy and commit to a relationship with God. After graduating college he moved to Laurel, MD to start work at The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab where he is currently employed as a Project Manager with a concentration in chemical and biomolecular engineering.
David and Laura got married in March 2009 and shortly after that they found ORCC. They quickly began calling it home and the saints that attended family. David and Laura both loved the way everyone cared about each other and how Great Commission Churches were organized. Since starting their journey together, they have one dog, 3 children, and have led or been involved in various ministries around ORCC.
David’s passions are Lego, engineering, hunting, biking, house renovating, and woodworking. He has a particular interest in engaging people (especially at breakfast) and working with them to encourage and deepen their walk with God through recognizing and growing their spiritual gifts.
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
AURELIA TREMBLAY
I was born in California but raised in the small town of Grants Pass, Oregon. It was Grandma who taught me that "there’s a Jehovah God in heaven who loves you and sent his Son to die for you," but my life changed when a high school friend rededicated his life to Jesus and invited us to church with him. After graduation, I accepted Jesus as my Savior at summer camp. I began actively serving in the Jr. High youth group for 7 years until I met my husband Mike and moved across the nation to Maryland. We have been married since 2000 and have 3 wonderful children. Together, we serve in Children’s Ministry as Sunday School Leaders and I also help coordinate Vacation Bible School and serve part time as a church office admin.
