His teaching ministry seeks to blend the academic and the practical, with a focus on strengthening and renewing the local church. A lifelong member of the Free Methodist Church, Doug has been active in parish ministry since 1978, serving pastorates until he came to Roberts Wesleyan College (now University) in 1994 to serve as College Chaplain. In 1998, Dr. Cullum became one of the founding faculty members of Northeastern Seminary at Roberts Wesleyan College. Areas of special interest include Wesley and the Methodist tradition, Reformation theology and history, worship and liturgical theology, and nineteenth and twentieth-century American religion.
