I am Fred Clark, Director of our Care Ministry. It is my responsibility to oversee the care ministry of our church, which includes making visits to our homebound members and hospital visits to those who are sick or having operations. I also direct our Benevolence Ministry which cares for those in need both within and outside our church family. My ministry also directs all of the weddings, funerals, baptisms and baby dedications. We also give leadership to our Usher/Greeter, Communion and Altar ministries that serve our attendees and those needing prayer each Sunday at the close of our services. Married my high school sweetheart in 1966 and have two children and five grandchildren. I served in the Army for 8 years before accepting an appointment as a Trooper with the Virginia State Police in 1971. God called me into pastoral ministry in 1981 and I began serving full time in 2001.

My wife Anna and I both grew up in Ashburn. Jesus took hold of my heart in the student ministry of Cross Current Ministries. It was there I developed a passion for students, so I pursued a degree in youth ministry from Liberty University. I married Anna in January of 2013 and began overseeing the student ministry at The Point Church in Charlottesville. For the past 2.5 years God has been molding and shaping me as a shepherd of students and families. We have 3 kids. We’re incredibly excited to begin here at Christian Fellowship Church, and look forward to being part of God reaching more of our area with the gospel of Jesus Christ!

We strive to mobilize the people of CFC to serve alongside of and within local partnerships locally and in our region.

I grew up at Christian Fellowship Church and, my parents are one of the founding families! I was privileged to be at the very first service of CFC! I was called into ministry as a young person. Specifically, into Youth Ministry half-way through my college career and transferred to Bethany Bible College in Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada graduating with a BA with a Youth Ministry Major. For 12 years I served as a Youth & Children’s Pastor in North Carolina, Delaware, and Florida. In 2000 my family and I moved to serve on staff at CFC. I met my wife, Resi, at college, we were married in May 1989 and live in Purcellville, Va. Our oldest daughter is recently married and lives in Round Hill, VA and our youngest is continuing her college career of study at Liberty University. My favorite verse is, “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a kind glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” (Jn. 1:14 – MSG) as I believe that it represents what we endeavor to do every day as a church and as everyday ‘missionaries’ in our workplace, neighborhood, family, and beyond.

After growing up all over the Midwest, I began my professional career as a high school social studies teacher, department chair, and volleyball coach in Sterling, VA. While continuing to teach, I also began working in a part-time capacity at CFC in 2016 as the Director of Freedom Ministries. In 2020, after 16 wonderful years in the classroom, I followed God’s calling into full-time ministry. His greatest passion is helping believers in Jesus learn to personally communicate with their Heavenly Father, and experience the transformation, freedom, and adventure of the abundant life. I have been married to my wife Brooke for 10 years, and love the rural life we have recently embraced in western Loudoun County.
