Darren Rowles

Pastor Darren and his wife, Kelli, share a deep passion for reaching people with the Gospel of Grace. They are continually amazed at how God has brought them together—each with unique gifts—to serve as a unified team for lasting Gospel impact. Whether connecting with others at church, participating in local community events with their two daughters, or engaging online through Kelli’s outreach, they are committed to building meaningful relationships and welcoming others into their lives. They would love the opportunity to meet you—feel free to stop by or reach out anytime.

Pastor Darren was raised in a Christian home with a rich lineage of ministry in his family. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at a young age and has faithfully pursued a growing relationship with Him ever since. He met Kelli during their undergraduate studies at Liberty University, and together they have built a Christ-centered home, raising their two daughters and enjoying time spent together as a family.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies and Youth Ministry from Liberty University, along with a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry: Homiletics. He furthered his education at Capital Seminary & Graduate School, earning both a Master of Arts and a Master of Divinity in Christian Ministry: Leadership Studies. Pastor Darren is currently working on a Doctor of Ministry and is an ordained bishop.

In addition to ministry, Pastor Darren enjoys hunting, fishing, working with his hands, and playing golf. He is also musically inclined, with a love for singing and playing the drums and guitar. Above all, he has a deep love for the Word of God—you’ll often find him studying Scripture with an open Bible close at hand. His greatest desire is to see those who are spiritually disconnected come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and for believers to grow deeper in their walk with Him.
