...ABOUT THE PASTOR OF FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH AND PRESIDENT OF MMOM...

Dr. Clark comes from Lexington, North Carolina where he grew up with eleven brothers and sisters. Although the family was large they were very close and loving. Dr. Clark lived at home with his parents until the age of eighteen when he married his high school sweetheart, Margaret Marion. It was shortly after their marriage that two missionaries on furlough visited their home. This was the first time the Gospel seed was planted in his heart. Although Dr. Clark did not accept Jesus Christ as Savior at that time, he gives much credit to these gentlemen for their witness. Two years later on January 20, 1965, he did receive Christ while kneeling beside his bed.
In 1971, God called him into the ministry and moved to Lynchburg, Virginia to attend Liberty Baptist College. During his stay in Virginia he founded Calvary Baptist Church in a small community about seventy miles from Lynchburg, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2001.
The Lord led him to move to Greenville, South Carolina in 1974 to attend Tabernacle Baptist College and finish his education. While in college, he worked on the staff at Tabernacle and in the children's home. He stayed and labored in Greenville until 1981, when he left for a year to pastor Madisonville Baptist Temple in Kentucky. He returned to Tabernacle in 1982 and served during the next ten years as principal of the elementary school, Dean of the Bible College, General Manager of WTBI radio, and Co-Pastor of the church. It was not until 1991 that he felt God dealing with him about serving in another church.
In July of 1991 Pastor Clark became pastor of Freedom Baptist Church's sixty-eight member flock. Since that time, Freedom's membership has grown to approximately four hundred and twenty people. Freedom has seen many people saved and baptized, in addition, such ministries as Operation Saturation, Target America Ministries and the support of over 120 missionaries. In March 2004 God led Pastor Clark and the congregation of Freedom Baptist Church to take under their wings the international ministry of Mass Media Outreach Ministries, founded by Dr. Donnie D. Whitlock. Pastor Clark and Dr. Whitlock have known one another since 1974.
Dr. Clark is a willing vessel to be used of God. He is a fundamentalist who stands only on the King James Version of the Bible, which is the preserved authoritative Word of God for English speakers. His ministry is summed up by his own words, "A call to pastor also carries with it a call to counsel. In trying times, the pastor is called upon more and more to counsel his people. I will give myself to the people as they need me. My main ministry is reaching and winning the lost. Personal evangelism is part of my Christian fiber, twenty-four hours a day, everywhere I may be. I believe in an organized visitation program with a follow-up ministry."
