Denbigh Church of Christ

Meet Our Ministers

Preaching

At many churches, most of the members are from the local area and the preacher is from someplace in Texas or West Virginia. Here at Denbigh, most of the members are from places like Texas and West Virginia and the preacher is a Newport News natives. (Didn’t someone say something about a prophet, honor, and his own country?) Tuck was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1956, but his roots are in Arkansas, where his great-grandfather J. A. Copeland was a respected preacher and founding editor of Gospel Light Magazine.
Tuck's ministry education includes a bachelor’s degree in Bible from Freed-Hardeman College, an M. A. R in religious communication from Harding Graduate School of Religion, and an M. Div. from Trinity Theological Seminary. Tuck came to the Denbigh church in May of 1980 as the youth minister. A few months later, the preacher moved, and the elders asked him to fill in as the interim preacher while they searched for a pulpit minister. He's been here ever since. (Tuck says, "Either their standards are so high that they haven’t found one yet or so low that they thought I’d do. Whichever it is, here I am!")
