Growing up in a Christian family and under the influence of a preaching Grandpa in Thomasville, NC, Darren eventually traveled throughout the country singing Gospel music. After marrying Margy in 2003, the two settled in Dunn where God unexpectedly called them to CBC. They are blessed with two children, Sophia and Isaac. He has earned an BS in Music from Tennessee Temple and a Masters Degree from Liberty University.

Darren’s primary areas of ministry are in Administration and Music and is passionate about encouraging the church to worship God by serving where He has gifted them. He leads the church in worship through choir and worship teams and is part of the music group, Butler, Hughes & Hayes.
