How it all started...
In July 2015, through a divine appointment, Pastor Derek met a gentleman by the name of Kenyatta Lewis who was serving at the time as the Director of Church Planting in the Caribbean for Harvest Bible Fellowship. After much discussion with Kenyatta and serious exploration of HBF, Derek and Sheron followed the call to be church planters.
The training journey...
In August of 2016 Derek and Sheron moved to the Chicago area where they underwent extensive training with the Harvest Church Planting Training Center along side 39 other pastors and their wives. After four months in training they travelled to Columbus Ohio and Philadelphia Pennsylvania to complete a month of internship with Vertical Church Columbus (Pastor Luke) and Harvest Philadelphia (Pastor Matt).
They returned to Barbados at the end of January 2017 to engage in probably the hardest ministry exploit of their lives – church planting. The church was officially launched on Sunday September 24th 2017 with 271 persons in attendance.
