About

Growing up in a Baptist church as the son of a vocational minister, and the grandson of a bi-vocational pastor, his experience with the things of the Lord was one of familiarity. He did not appreciate the Christian upbringing the Lord blessed him with. Sadly, like diamond-cutters handling precious jewels all day, he took the Gospel for granted and did not treasure Christ. Thankfully, at the age of 18, the Lord irresistibly drew Clay to Himself and saved him out of his hypocrisy, making him a new creation in Christ. 

Desiring to draw closer to the Lord, Clay enrolled in Bible College where the Lord made it plain that He had a calling on his life to preach and teach God’s Word. By His grace, Clay has had the joy of laboring in this capacity in His harvest field since 2000. He graduated from Boyce Bible College in 2003 and he was ordained and licensed into the Gospel ministry that same year. Clay praises God for the opportunities He has given such an unworthy servant to serve Him. 

The Lord’s single greatest tool to make Clay more like Jesus has been his family. The Lord allowed him to marry Monica, his high school sweetheart in 2000. She is his best earthly friend, his strongest supporter, and his closest accountability partner. Clay married a mile above his head in personality, intellect and looks! Monica is truly a gift from God. Follow her blog at monicanicolehall.wordpress.com

Clay also praises God for his six children who always expect him to live what he preaches. He couldn’t ask for a more loving group of kids to shepherd into adulthood. If the Lord tarries, Clay’s prayer is that they each live for God’s glory in spite of their earthly father’s many shortcomings and failures.

Clay also praises God for his church family that he has pastored since 2020. Oak Grove Baptist is smaller than many churches, but Clay puts their capacity to love God and love others up against any mega-church. It was this characteristic that the Lord used to first draw him to Oak Grove Baptist in Paducah, KY. If you’ve never experienced the love of Christ through His people, do yourself a favor and join a loving, Bible-believing church!"
