Pastor Derik grew up in Hickory, NC, and went to Appstate where he met his beautiful bride Allison.  He received his Masters at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and God gave Allison and Derik the joy of their lives, Jacob, who is married to Hannah. Pastor Derik served in student ministry for 17 years, and has shepherded the community of faith at Winton Baptist Church for over eight years. He is excited for the journey ahead and in his spare time enjoys playing his guitar, hiking, helping anyone (and everyone!) get a better grasp of tech and most importantly doing whatever it takes to make sure as many people know Jesus as possible.

Sandra has served as the treasurer of Winton Baptist for over 25 years. She keeps the books straight! Sandra is happily married to Tim, enjoys spending time with her family and has two  happily married sons to 2 daughters in law, a grandson and a new grand daughter!
