Deryk submitted to the call and undeserved privilege to serve, shepherd, lead, love and partner with the caring and committed people who make up the St. Paul Shivley Heights Baptist Church following the path that Rev. Lincoln Bingham paved. His aim is to please God in his calling as a husband, father, friend and faithful student of text-driven preaching. Deryk enjoys dating his wife, spending time with his family, reading and laughing with loved ones.
