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.
