Elder & Pastor of Missions and Family Minitries
Derrick grew up in the Amazon Rainforest while his parents served as missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. As a result, he has a vested interest in seeing the church grow in its prayer life, serve on mission, and apply biblical truth to everyday life while looking forward to the Day when people from every tribe tongue and nation worships the Lord together. Derrick, his wife Beka, and their kids Lilly and Isaiah started coming to Mid-Cities at Maplewood in 2016. Since then, they’ve welcome a third: Eliza. Derrick also enjoys hunting, fishing, spending time outdoors, and smoking various types of meat.
