Pastors

Clyde became the Pastor of Hope in July 2007. He is very excited to be doing what he loves, with a group of people he loves, in a place he loves. Clyde and his wife Valerie planted Redeemer PC in Winston-Salem in 1982, and now being the Pastor of Hope, a daughter church, brings him much joy. Throughout his career, he has been a church planter, pastor, executive pastor, and missions director.

Clyde and Valerie recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. They have three adult married children; Luke & wife Bridget (Philadelphia), Anna & husband Tim (Philadelphia), and Claire & husband Nathaniel (Washington, DC).

Clyde enjoys spending time with his four grandchildren, playing golf, reading, watching movies and relaxing at the beach.
