Congratulations, Rev. Dr. Derrick Elliott!

It is with great honor and pride that Sun Lakes United Church of Christ congratulates Rev. Dr. Derrick Elliott on receiving his Doctor of Ministry degree on May 6, 2024, from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington D.C.

For the past three years, while completing his education and working on his thesis, Rev. Dr. Elliott has been serving as: a part-time Pastor at both Sun Lakes UCC and Desert Heritage Church UCC/Disciples of Christ in Mesa, AZ; a Military Chaplain; along with serving on several UCC boards and committees.

Sun Lakes UCC surprised Pastor Derrick with a reception and gifts following his return from Washington D.C. on May 11, 2024. We are such a blessed community to have Rev. Dr. Elliott as our shepherd, leading us and worshiping with us each week.

CONGRATULATION DERRICK!
