Diggles Family Ministries exists to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ
and to uplift and encourage people everywhere!

The Diggles Family began ministering part-time on August 15, 2004, with a concert in Butler, NJ. Although they didn’t know it at the time, God was preparing them for the full-time ministry they had desired for years. On November 4, 2004, when Doug lost his full-time job, the adventure on which God was leading this family took a new turn. They felt God had opened this door to lead them into full-time ministry – only 3 months after their ministry began! Since then, they have presented concerts in 30 states and Ontario, Canada, and have traveled through a total of 47 states.

The Diggles Family is led by Doug Diggles. Doug had been singing for the Lord for over two decades before his family joined him in song. He sang as a soloist and as part of several groups: Undivided Heart, The Master’s Quartet, Potter’s Clay, and Three In One. His love for God spills over into his truly anointed voice, and when he sings you not only hear the song but feel it as well. Doug enjoys singing lead, tenor, baritone, and his favorite part, bass. He also enjoys playing the piano in many of their arrangements. Doug has written one song, the title track of their album You Are My Strength. He enjoys family game nights and book read alouds. He also enjoys working in their family garden and looks forward to their harvest of fruits and vegetables each year.

Christina, a 2013 homeschool graduate, has followed God’s call to continue with their ministry full time. With her wonderful ear for harmony, she enjoys singing with her family, and working with her dad arranging new songs for them to sing. Her love of music has also led her into the realm of songwriting and composition, including a concerto for two violin parts, viola, and cello. Christina has also enjoyed writing the script portion and selecting songs for some of her church’s Christmas cantatas. This year she is diving into writing a Christmas musical including the writing and arranging of the songs. She has many interests including drawing, crocheting and knitting, needlework, spinning wool, learning homemaking skills, gardening, traditional cooking and nutrition. She also enjoys reading and creative writing and is currently writing two books. Her greatest love is the Lord. She has been reading and studying the Bible since she learned to read, and has memorized many chapters of scripture. To support herself while in full-time ministry, Christina gives violin and guitar lessons, and works as a distributor for Lilla Rose (www.lillarose.biz/awomansglory). She plays a myriad of instruments, including the piano, violin, viola, cello, classical and acoustic guitar, mountain and hammered dulcimer, mandolin, ukulele, penny whistle, bodhran drum, resonator, accordion, auto harp, and banjo! Christina’s favorite instrument is the violin. During the year you will find her playing the violin, viola, cello, guitar, and penny whistle most often, but during Christmas she works many other instruments into the mix.

Diane runs the sound board, handles their scheduling along with Doug, and does the ministry’s computer work including creating and maintaining their website. She also enjoys cooking healthy food, making homemade bread, and working in their garden. Diane is not on stage often, but occasionally she will interpret a song through sign language which gives the song even more power. During their Christmas concerts she enjoys playing several percussion and rhythm instruments.

The whole family is using their God-given talents to serve their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He has graciously allowed them to work, play, school, and minister together as a family. Diggles Family Ministries, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, is truly a family ministry.
