Grace Clovis is a developing church in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). At Grace Clovis we believe God mainly works through the ordinary means of grace including the preaching and reading of His Word, the practice of corporate and individual prayer, and participation in the sacraments (baptism and the Lord’s Supper). We especially value expository preaching where Jesus Christ is central. You can visit our sermon archive page to listen to past and current sermons. As a reformed church we emphasize confessional and reformed theology in our understanding of the Bible.
Worship Service at 9:00 AM

Pastor’s Bio: Having lived in the Fresno/Clovis area for most of my life I feel uniquely burdened and qualified for the work of church planting here. I grew up attending church but it wasn’t until I went to Hume Lake Summer Camp in 7th grade that the Lord opened my eyes to see the truth of the gospel. By the end of the week I knew that I was a great sinner, but that Christ was a great Savior (as John Newton was fond of saying). Two years later, my youth pastor drowned on a church water ski trip. For a number of reasons this experience deepened my commitment to Christ and drove me to seriously consider pastoral ministry.

– After several years of wrestling with various reformed doctrines I became a member of Sierra View PCA in Fresno, CA. In 2008, with the blessing of the church, I went on to attend Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. While attending RTS, I served as the Discipleship Intern at First Presbyterian Church while Ligon Duncan and Derek Thomas served as pastors. I graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2012 and returned with the purpose of planting Grace Clovis. I married my better half, Carrie, in 1999 and we have four children: Maddie, Lauren, Caitlin, and Thatcher.
