Clark has directed church music since 1980, serving churches in Chico, Redding and Paradise. He came on staff in May 2006 and enjoys, in particular, the freedom and spontaneity of the worship at Aldersgate. His passion is for the church to experience the fullness of God's presence through joyful, heartfelt and intimate worship.

He has led worship for conferences and retreats throughout the region. He was a seminar speaker and worship leader for a Wheaton (Illinois) Bible Church conference in 2001 and directed a multi-church worship concert in Chico in 1994. He has directed church choirs throughout the north state and is a published worship song composer. He has directed multiple worship teams, directed seeker-intensive music programs and taught vocal training workshops.

Clark leads the Praise Team, a group of singers and instrumentalists that provides worship music for the contemporary service. He also directs the Chancel Choir for the traditional service and serves as organist for that gathering.

He holds a Master's Degree in music from California State University, Chico and studied piano for over 25 years. He performed as a semiprofessional concert artist from 1980-1992. His classical piano performances, original music on CD and commercial digital photography are all available here. He has taught individual private piano, class piano and music fundamentals courses at California State University, Chico, and currently instructs class piano and music appreciation courses at Butte Community College. He performs as an accompanist at CSU, Chico and plays regularly for the Chico Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

His love of the outdoors is reflected in his hobbies: windsurfing, mountain biking, hiking and landscape photography.  Email
