About Pastor D
Pastor Derrick Norris
Pastor Derrick Norris is a retired Navy veteran who, in 2005, felt God’s calling to Central Oahu where he became the pastor of Mililani Baptist Church. Here, he leads a body of believers located in close proximity to several military installations. A skilled communicator with a master’s degree in theological studies, Derrick has helped Mililani Baptist Church focus on delivering the message of Jesus Christ to people who need to hear about His love, forgiveness, and opportunity to make peace with God and find meaning in their lives. One of Derrick’s passions is helping Christians grow in their faith, knowing that it is not always easy. Here is one of his favorite quotes on the topic, from the book “Radical†by Dr. David Platt: “Radical obedience to Christ is not easy; it is dangerous. It is not smooth sailing aboard a luxury liner; it is sacrificial duty about a troop carrier. It’s not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And that is enough for us.†In his almost six years here, Derrick has helped Mililani Baptist Church become one of the largest in the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention. It is a leader in baptisms and giving to programs that spread the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the Islands and the world beyond. Derrick enjoys reading, golfing, running, hiking, cycling and staying current with friends and family on Facebook. He has been married to Rebecca, the love of his life and best friend, for 33 years. They have two boys and four grandchildren. If you would like to connect with Pastor Derrick, feel free to call him at 808.623.2559, ext. 22, or e-mail him at pastorderrick_hawaii.rr.com

Peter preached to the crowd and invited them to repent so that "times of refreshing" might come from the Lord. And many did; "Many who heard the message believed , and the number of men grew to about five thousand" (Acts 4:4). the early churc was in the midst of a spiritual awakening. Not long before on the Day of Pentecost three thousand accepted Peter's message and were added to the church. Those early believers.As you read the following Scripture what comes to your mind?They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone ad he had need. Every day they continuedto meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising god and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the L
