Clay was born and raised not too far from here, in Huffman. He graduated from there in 1980, and went on to study at Samford University and Southwestern Theological Seminary.

He and Penny were married in 1987, and have two children: Charlie (who is currently completing a masters degree in Biblical Counselling at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, MS), and Trevelyn, who went to be with the Lord in 2014, at the age of 20.

When Clay isn’t here at FBCT he enjoys golf, weight training, refitting/rebuilding/upgrading electric guitars, snow skiing, and yard work!
