The GAMC was asked to confirm his selection at its May meeting, and he will assume his new duties in June.
As a child, Dermody lived in Cameroon with his parents, who were short-term missionaries. The two years in Cameroon fueled a lifelong passion for mission.
“The GAMC is engaged in areas of incredible and highly strategic ministry,” Dermody says. “I’m excited by the challenge of partnering with our middle governing bodies and our churches, getting the word out more effectively, working together more harmoniously, and celebrating together the good things that God is doing in us and through us.
