Rick Clark has been a pastor for more than 40 years. Married to his wife Christi since 1975 they have served together in a variety of ministries and locations. When they were first married their plan was for Rick to become an architect, but God had other plans. He served in pastoral roles in the Springfield, Missouri area until moving to Rapid City, South Dakota to pastor. It was in Rapid City that with a strong leading, God directed Rick to return to Springfield to strengthen his brothers (Luke 22:31-32). His calling was to love Jesus by feeding and caring for His people (John 21:15-19).
