Meet Pastor CLAY
"I'm Pastor Clay, and I'm thrilled to be here with you! I grew up in Temecula and earned my degree in Applied Theology from California Baptist University (CBU) in Riverside, CA. Right now, I'm working on my Master's in Theological Studies at Gateway Seminary in Ontario, CA.
My greatest passion? Seeing youth fall in love with Jesus, being transformed by His love, and bringing others to know Him.
I'm happily married to my amazing wife, Christine. My favorite things to do include exploring coffee shops and eating good food with her, surfing, and trying not to die at CrossFit.
Can't wait to meet you all!"
