At The Potter’s House of Dallas, Pastor Rodney Derrick oversees the bereavement ministry, golden vessels and the professional ministry technicians (ushers and greeters). Since joining the ministry in 1999, Pastor Derrick has served as a ministerial department team leader, an instructor at The Potter’s Institute; and as a new member’s coordinator and team leader.

Representing the third generation of Gospel preachers in his family, Pastor Derrick is the thankful recipient of the gift of ministry that was passed from his grandfather, to his father and now to him.  Pastor Derrick was called by God to preach as a teenager in 1979 and in 1982, he was ordained as an elder. Pastor Derrick has served in many capacities within the Kingdom, including associate pastor, district evangelist, district organist and he has also worked with inner-city youth. 

Pastor Rodney Derrick and his lovely wife, Ramona, reside in Dallas, Texas.  Together, they share the call to ministry and are the proud parents of three children, Andrea, Carlisa and Rodney Jr.
