On the completion of his Biblical studies he received a call to minister the Word of God in Carryduff Baptist Church, just outside Belfast. There he exercised a fruitful ministry for twelve years. In 1987 Denis began his ministry in the Iron Hall Assembly, Belfast, pastoring the work there for eleven years.

Denis has had the privilege of ministering God's Word in Australia, South Africa, and Romania as well as conducting missions and conferences in his own country.
