Derek and Stephanie have been at SRBC since 2015. After 4 years of serving as the Small Groups and Discipleship Pastor, Derek took over as the Lead Pastor in 2019. Derek and Stephanie have five boys and an energetic life. They have 3 sons in college attending Liberty University, one in high school, and their youngest is in elementary. They are active in the local foster/adoption system and have worked hard to build bridges and relationships into the community.
Since becoming Lead Pastor at SRBC, they have made it their passion to see the church minister to all generations lovingly and effectively, knowing that the church is at its best when all of the generations are present. For Derek and Stephanie, the church’s mission of “helping people find, follow, and share Jesus Christ” is not just a phrase but a passion.
