Pastor Micah and Dr. DeeDee Whitley

Born and raised in San Diego, CA, Pastor Micah and Dr. Desdemona (DeeDee)
met through music ministry on February 2nd, 2001. Ten months later, they
exchanged wedding vows. Fast-forward 25 years, and they continue to serve
God passionately as a team—alongside their four children: Micah Jr., David,
James, and Angela.

Micah grew up in a musical, faith-filled home, but it wasn’t until after high
school in 1988 that he fully surrendered to Christ and was filled with the Holy
Spirit—a transformative encounter that changed the course of his life. Since
2012, he has served in various roles at the Rock Church, including launching
the City Heights location. He currently serves as Executive Pastor of Care and
Equipping, where he leads other pastors and equips the saints for the work of
ministry.

DeeDee is a seasoned worship leader with over 30 years of experience, a
licensed chiropractor, and a college professor. A devoted homeschooling
mother, she educated their children through high school and helped lead
“Chips and Salsa Homeschooling, ”a faith-based resource and support
platform for homeschooling families.

Together, the Whitleys are passionate about expanding the Kingdom of God
by raising up new generations of disciples and empowering them to live out
their God-given purpose.
