Announcing Our Move: From Oklahoma to Alaska

After much prayer and discernment, Derek will be transitioning from pastoring at First Baptist Chattanooga, OK, to serving as missionaries in Glennallen, Alaska. This move is scheduled for May 2026, and while it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to our friends and family, we’re filled with hope and anticipation for what lies ahead.
