Pastor Phillip Clark
Phillip Clark grew up as the son of a bi-vocational Baptist Pastor in LA (lower Alabama). He attended the University of Alabama where he
obtained the Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. It was in Tuscaloosa that he met his wife, Alexis. They were both
members of the Million Dollar Band and agreed that life in Tuscaloosa was too good to leave. They have now been ministering in the area
for almost 14 years. While Phillip was serving as the Youth Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa he began working on his
Master of Divinity with the support of EBC. He has served in a variety of roles in the Tuscaloosa County School System. He taught 4th &
5th grade, served as reading coach, and more recently as the music teacher at Westwood Elementary in Coker. He was teaching at
Huntington Place Elementary when he felt God call him into pastoral ministry. He served as Pastor of Unity Baptist Church in Fayette, AL
for four years before being called back to Coker to pastor Valley Church in 2015. He completed his M.Div in 2016 after many long nights of
diligently completing online classes as a Caskey Scholar at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Phillip maintains a steady presence
in the Valley community by coaching for Sipsey Valley Youth Athletics and working at Buhl Elementary School. Phillip and Alexis; three
children Charlie, Callie, & Chase are actively involved in the family ministry. They have enjoyed serving alongside their dad in local missions
like the Upper Room Ministry and international mission trips to Mexico and Cuba. Contact: Pastor Phillip Clark.
