Derril's formative years were spent in Muscotah, Kansas where at seven years old he met his future wife of fifty-seven years, Linda Lou Christ.

Derril graduated from Mid-America Nazarene College in Olathe, Kansas with a double Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion and Communications and shortly after received his Masters of Divinity degree in 1984 from Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas, affiliated with the American Baptist Church. Derril was ordained into the ministry at Colonial Church in Prairie Village, KS. In 1985, Derril and his family relocated to Lodi, CA so that he could serve the First Congregational Church (now known as United Congregational Christian Church).
