Dr. Jerry Roberson

Senior Pastor

Jerry’s story begins when he was saved at the age of 7 at a Mission Church in Samson, Alabama. His call to pastoral ministry came several years after at age 12 in Seminary, Mississippi; but, living the life of a pastor’s son provides a front-row seat to church hurt. Wanting no part of the church, Jerry ran from God for over 15 years. As the storms of a life without God overtook him, he realized that point was his last opportunity to choose God and follow in His Way. His journey in the pastorate began in 1996 with his wife Monica and their three daughters. God’s Way brought them through many directions, sorrow, and joy, but his greatest privilege is to be a follower of Christ. Jerry holds a Doctorate of Philosophy in Theology and has been in the ministry for over 25 years. He and his wife Monica are passionate about the Lord and are eager to serve at PSDBC.
