A New Season of Ministry: Welcoming Interim Pastor Daryl Watts
Let’s welcome Pastor Daryl Watts, our Interim Pastor to begin his ministry with our congregation officially starting on October 1, 2026. Pastor Daryl brings a wealth of spiritual maturity, an honest and thoughtful approach to ministry, and a strong background in guiding congregations through periods of transition. During his time with us, he will serve as a vital guide—helping us assess our current congregational needs, refine our shared vision, and lay a strong, healthy foundation for the eventual search for our next permanent pastor, in addition to leading our worship and providing pastoral care.
Please join us in celebrating this wonderful news and keep Pastor Daryl, our church leadership, and our entire congregation in your prayers as we prepare for this new season of ministry together.
Meet Pastor Daryl
A native of Macon, Georgia, Pastor Daryl holds a B.A. in Religion from Baylor University and earned his Master of Divinity from Golden Gate Seminary in Mill Valley. Early in his career, he focused on urban and multicultural ministries across the San Francisco Bay Area. This included a highly successful tenure as the English pastor at a Korean Baptist Church in San Jose, where the congregation tripled in size under his leadership.
For 27 years, Daryl served with the California Southern Baptist Convention, leading a ministry that spanned statewide youth events, family outreach, stewardship, and pastor coaching. He spearheaded comprehensive church health consultations, addressing everything from leadership and finances to vision and conflict resolution.
Since 2019, Daryl has dedicated his time exclusively to serving as an intentional interim pastor. He specializes in helping churches navigate complex transitions, recover from trauma, and realign with their core values and vision.
