Pastor Clay or just Clay if you are past your teens, has been at River Terrace since 1980 when he arrived in town because his wife Adria took a job in Lansing. Clay was still in grad school at the University of Michigan finishing his PhD dissertation in Biblical Studies. At the request of the senior pastor Al Hoksbergen, he started teaching Sunday classes to adults. We were impressed with his knowledge of scripture, his understanding of the Bible, and his ability to make it understandable and apply to our lives. His work expanded through the years into campus ministry, preaching, and more teaching. In 1991, he became the Senior Pastor serving as head of the staff and President of the Council, the lay leadership body.
