Dr. Clifton Howard
Senior Pastor

Most of all, Clifton understands himself as a disciple of Christ.  As a disciple, he is continually learning and growing in the knowledge and grace of Jesus Christ.  In 28 years of ministry, Clifton has enjoyed serving 12 local congregations—rural, urban, suburban.  At St. Andrew’s since 2009, his desire is to help St. Andrew’s fully become a perfect place for imperfect people.  “The outcome we expect of our ministry is disciples of Jesus Christ, stumbling and fumbling, scratching and struggling, worshipping and serving, ever growing and moving forward in faithfulness to the one who died and rose for the world.”

Clifton and his wife, Barbara, have one son, Cory, one daughter-in-law, Lili, and four grandchildren—Daisy, Kaitly, Cristian, and Matthew.  He enjoys basketball, tennis, golf, watching television and movies.
