Pastor Clyde Ruffin
Rev. Ruffin has served as our pastor since 2003, faithfully preaching and teaching the word of God and embracing anyone who needs Godly counsel, earnest prayer or a listening ear. He began preaching at a very young age and was ordained as a minister of the gospel in 1970. His vision of a church overflowing with believers of all races and backgrounds who are fervent in love and worship, grounded in the Word of God and committed to serving the community continues to challenge our church to believe in the extraordinary possibilities of what God will do in the lives of ordinary people.
