Pastor Clark Pfaff
Clark grew up in North Carolina where he met his wife, Cynthia, at the University of North Carolina. Clark has a B.A. in Religion from the University, and a Masters from Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He has pastored churches in Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Connecticut.
Clark is passionate about helping people who are far from God come to know God, and about helping people who already know God become fully-devoted followers of Him. In his spare time, Clark enjoys running and the outdoors. Clark and Cynthia have two children and live in Granby, Connecticut.
If you are seeking to know God or if you want to help people know and grow with God, come to Valley Brook! We have discovered that God is real, relevant and relational, and nothing would excite me more than introducing you to a personal relationship with God and helping you grow in that relationship.
Sincerely,
Pastor Clark Pfaff
