Darrel’s passion is worship and his greatest joy is leading others to the throne of God with music. He has served as Minister of Music for over 50 years in churches across America. And while His title hasn’t changed throughout that time, his heart certainly has:

As a youth leader in his beginning years, Darrel organized multiple youth choir tours across the United States and Canada, inspiring young people to sing! As a choir and orchestra director, his musical stage productions packed out churches for weeks. But it wasn’t until later in his ministry that he truly embraced worship. In a transformative act of grace, God changed Darrel’s heart from a leader of music to a lover of worship.

Darrel’s unique blend of choir-led praise choruses, hymns, and powerful anthems is a unique offering among modern churches, and one of the reasons why he and his wife Dianne followed God’s leading to start Restoration Fellowship Church of Lakeland in 2018. Darrel and Dianne are so grateful to be in service alongside the outstanding staff of RFC, and thankful for God’s calling in 2019 of Pastor Terry Wilcox to lead the church.

Darrel and Dianne have been married for 35 years.  He has three children; a son, Brian, who lives in Virginia with his family and daughters, Ginger and Monica, who are an active part of RFC.  Darrel and Dianne’s son, Andrew, serves as Media Director at RFC.

"I found Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at an early age. I attended a religious boarding school called Mount Carmel in Vancleve, Kentucky during part of my high school years. After graduation from high school I worked at a secular job in Columbus, Ohio while continuing to serve as youth leader in our home church."

"After two years I felt a very definite call to ministry. I quit my job and went full-time to Circleville Bible college, now Ohio Christian University, and graduated with a Bachelor of Sacred Literature Degree. I entered into ministry as pastor of a small church in Cambridge Ohio. Served as an assistant pastor at a very large church in Circleville. I spent five years in general evangelistic work holding revivals in more than 120 churches in 18 states."

"I have pastored churches in Ohio and Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida. Graduated from Wesley Biblical Seminary In Jackson, Mississippi with a Master of Divinity degree. Jean and I have four children and eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren."
