Pastor Clark’s vision for Mount Zion’s Youth is to systematically empower the church’s youth by carrying out the vision of senior leadership. He believes to successfully achieve this, we must be willing to explore ideas, values, and faith in a manner that is attractive to the youth but remains within the foundation of God’s never changing word. Pastor Clark believes that Youth ministry is the church's systematic focus of efforts to help each & every young person grow personally & spiritually; enabling them to reach their full God created potential through the application of Christianity to every area of life.
Pastor Clark is a spirit-led extension of Christ’s body, dedicated to ministering with integrity and compassion through his commitment to submission and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. As a youth pastor and community activist, Pastor Clark boldly pursues young people, mentoring them to lead the cause of Christ, and apply Christianity to every area of life! As an “Ambassador for Christ”, he boldly proclaims and fiercely penetrates society with the message of Christ. It is time for us to take authority over Satan and move in the power and the abundant life that God has provided for those who trust Him.
To Hear God say “Well Done” is the pinnacle that Pastor Clark’s whole life is built upon and to impart that to everyone he meets, is his honor & privilege!
