Darrel and Kimberly met at Cumberland College in KY where he received his BA in Religion and Biblical Languages. They married a year after graduating and entered Seminary at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX where Darrel received his Masters Degree in Christian Education. Kimberly attended Texas Christian University and received her Masters in Secondary Education.  Darrel would say that his 1 year, post-graduate stints under Tommy Nelson (Denton Bible Church- TX) and Bob Roberts (Northwood Church- TX) helped shape his heart for ministry as much as his 2 actual degrees combined.

After spending almost 4 years on Staff at First Baptist Church Duluth in Atlanta, they decided it was time to begin a new work that we now call Corner-Stone.

Darrel's passion is to create a place where the Bible is "rightly divided" before the people, God is honored with genuine, heart-felt worship and the church is equipped and motivated to share the good news of grace.

A few highlights: In 1988 Robin and I met at Kaiser High School in Honolulu, HI; we married 7 years later. Since then we've moved and lived coast to coast. The Lord called us to Corner-stone in March of '06. We're hoping we can play a small part (the part we're supposed to play) in bringing Him fame and glory.
