DISTRICT ELDER DON DEREK SORRELLS, Th.D. is a dynamic disciple of Christ who preaches a powerful but sensitive message of hope and deliverance from sin through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  A man of God who believes there remains remnants of God’s people, who are called out, and called upon, for such a time as this. An evangelist who preaches the infallible gospel of Christ that has expanded over 10 years of ministry. He is convinced that Holiness is right. Knowing Holiness without, no man or woman shall see God. Holiness is what he teaches and preaches: "My God is Holy and his people must be holy, in order to receive his eternal benefits."

Happily married for over 20 years to his devoted wife, Regina who is his inspiration. Blessed with three outstanding children, Santwon, Sonya, and Sabrina whom I love very much.  District Elder Sorrells received the Holy Spirit into his heart over 17 years ago, drawn by the call of his Lord.

In these latter times, there must be a devout commitment to preach the truth in a world full of untruth and "chaos". False teachers with their damnable heresies are increasing on a daily basis. The hope lies in evangelizing the Gospel truth to lost souls whenever necessary. District Elder Sorrells' focus is to bring lost souls to Christ, by forging Christ’s gospel into the heart of the seeker, who has been deceived by the voice of Satan in these last days. His evangelistic purpose is to preach a comprehensible gospel to the hearer, which they can apply wholly to their life.

District Elder Sorrells has served as an associate minister at Christ Temple Apostolic Church for over 15 years, where the Pastor is Bishop Donald Sorrells D.D.
