Meet our ministers.
Jimmy Clark
Senior Pastor

He was called to minister at the age of 17 and has a great passion for carefully unpacking the truths of Scripture. Married to Cheri Kay Clark since 1996, he is a loving husband and the proud father of two grown sons. Pastor Jimmy believes that the best life is an everlasting relationship with God, and that we should experience it together, share the Word, and not become slaves to religion.
Dreyton Thibodeaux
Youth Pastor
Dreyton was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and graduated from LSUS in the Spring of 2023. He attended LA Tech in Ruston for the first half of his college education, and completed it at LSUS here in Shreveport. Growing up, Dreyton always believed in Christ, but it was during his early years of college that he truly dedicated his life to Him. As he has matured in his faith, Dreyton has been called to youth ministry. Upon first impressions, his joyous energy and heart will confirm that God is using him to change the lives of our youth and set the example that we all need.
