Rev. David C. Derrick
Pastor
I love to laugh, I love everything sports, I love learning new things, I love traveling, I love family and friends, I love St. Philip. I have been privileged to serve with this great community of faith since the year 2000. Pride may be sinful, but I unabashedly confess I am proud of the church we are together. I am always excited about what new thing God is doing with us and cannot wait to see what God has in store for us today. Search me out so we can discover today’s joy together.
Donita Moore
Worship Associate
I grew up in Abingdon, and I’ve lived in the New River Valley and been an educator and musician for most of my life. I attended and have worked for both Virginia Tech and Radford University. I enjoy making music with others, being outdoors, gardening, exploring life, spending time with family and friends, and learning just about anything. I joined the St Philip community in October 2025, and I am excited about our journey together as a family of faith.
Kimberly A. Garriott, CAP-VS
Office Administrator
Kimberly has 25 years of previous experience in Behavioral Health administration and has 8+ years with Denbigh United Presbyterian Church (DUPC) as their Office Manager. Non-profits have always been her passion and St. Philip Lutheran Church seems to be a wonderful new beginning for her, starting in July 2026.
Her education started in high school where she became certified in Office Training in her senior year, then on to trade school, certified in Secretarial Science-Cooperative. After that, she pursued her Associate’s Degree in General Studies and her certification through IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals) as a CAP (Certified Administrative Professional) and VS (Virtual Support). Starting in 2021, she began pursuing the APA (Administrative Personnel Association) certification through the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). She enjoys learning new things, especially administration and technology.
She is a military spouse of a retired Coastie (USCG), Randy. They are high school sweethearts who have two adult children, Hunter (daughter-in-law, Clarissa) and Tawna (son-in-law, Triston). She remains a Virtual Support staff with DUPC as needed and is taking on new virtual support positions. In her spare time, she likes to read, spend time with family and her yorkie fur babies, as well as walking. She still enjoys doing ministries with her church DUPC from afar and watching services on Sundays online with both DUPC and St. Philip.
