Pastor James C. Clark is a visionary leader, dynamic preacher, and devoted servant of God, committed to spreading the transformative message of Jesus Christ. Born and raised in New York, he pursued his academic journey with excellence, graduating cum laude from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a B.S. in Business Management. His passion for theology and ministry led him to earn a Master of Divinity from Alliance Theological Seminary, further equipping him to fulfill his God-given calling.

With an unshakable confidence in God's guidance, Pastor Clark embraced his purpose—to preach the gospel and lead others into a life of faith, healing, and restoration. On September 10, 2014, he founded Hope Center Church, a ministry dedicated to being “a place where broken people are made whole.” Under his leadership, Hope Center Church has faithfully served its community, with a vision to expand its reach and impact in the years ahead.

Beyond the pulpit, Pastor Clark is passionate about education and entrepreneurship. His love for learning led him to serve as an adjunct professor, empowering others through knowledge and mentorship. As a savvy business owner and realtor, he extends his leadership beyond ministry, serving communities in New York and New Jersey with integrity and excellence.

Above all, Pastor Clark’s greatest joy is being a devoted husband to Elder LaNeka Clark and father to his three amazing children. His life and ministry are a testament to God's grace, faithfulness, and the power of walking boldly in one's divine purpose.
