Pastor Temple Baptist Church
Brief info

Pastor Derrick Morlan serves as the pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Powell, Tennessee. Originally from Sparta, Ohio, he pursued his calling into the ministry by studying at The Crown College of the Bible.

In January 2011, Pastor Derrick Morlan and his wife, Julianna, moved to Oxford, England, to plant and establish the Oxford Baptist Chapel. Over the next fifteen years, he led the church and directed the Crown Christian Heritage Trust, a church planting and training program in the UK.

In 2024, Pastor Morlan was called back to the United States to succeed the late Pastor Clarence Sexton as the pastor of Temple Baptist Church. He and Julianna, along with their seven children, now reside in Powell, Tennessee, where they continue to serve the Lord faithfully.

Pastor and Mrs. Morlan’s passion for reaching the next generation makes them a powerful influence in inspiring young people to follow Christ with their whole lives.
