Pastor McRae's BIO



Pastor Derrick L. McRae, hails from the humble origins of Avon Park, Florida, currently serves as the Senior Pastor of The Experience Christian Center in Orlando, FL. He is a young man of strength and integrity, and is the son of the late Eugene V. Glenn and Deitrice Glenn.



Pastor McRae grew up enjoying church and became an active participant at an early age, serving as the church drummer by the age of five. Since then, he has continued to be an active presence in the worship service.



In 1993 Pastor McRae graduated from West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida, then headed for Florida A & M University in Tallahassee, Florida. A life filled with an array of ups and downs, successes and failures, Pastor McRae learned to trust in the Lord with all of his heart. He has been blessed with a creative, yet energetic style of communicating the gospel to the young as well as the seasoned. His favorite scripture is Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Pastor McRae returned to Orlando, Florida in 1998 where he reinstated his membership with the Malone Memorial Church of God in Christ. The influence of his pastor, Bishop Melton L. Scoiners proved essential to his ministerial development. Pastor McRae accepted his call to ministry in 1998 and was licensed under the Church of God in Christ in 1999. He was appointed as Youth Leader under the leadership of Pastor Derrick W. Hutchins and quickly advanced to the position of Youth Minister.
