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 now a sophomore in college where he is pursuing his passion for computers. Pastor Derik served in student ministry for 17 years, and has shepherded the community of faith at Winton Baptist Church for over six years. He is excited for the journey ahead and in his spare time enjoys listening to James Taylor, Toby Mac, Skillet, City Alight,  and a touch of Darious Rucker & Journey. He also enjoys hiking the Appalachian Trail, 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.

Kyleen came on board as the Secretary in 2018. She handles many tasks that keep things organized around our church. You may see her designing a publication, answering a phone call, organizing an event, or just smiling and being who God made her to be! Kyleen received her undergraduate degrees from Chowan University ('03) and her Masters' degree from NC State University ('09). Kyleen works for NC Cooperative Extension as an Area Information Management Agent, teaching extension employees technology. As a mom to Landon and a wife to Brice, she enjoys serving the Lord and spending time with her family at the beach or going to a live concert.
