Welcome, Rev. Gene Derryberry! On May 6, the congregation at Watts Street Baptist Church voted to call Rev. Gene Derryberry as our Intentional Interim Pastor. Rev. Derryberry works with the Center for Congregational Health and over the years, has served as the Intentional Interim Pastor of many congregations. He is specially trained to lead congregations through important periods of transition, helping the congregation explore its heritage, mission, leadership, and connection to the wider Church before beginning the formal search for a new pastor. Rev. Derryberry begins his ministry with us on May 7.
