Who we are
Located in downtown Clayton just behind the Clayton Cafe, Clayton Presbyterian Church lives as a family of faith through Christian worship, study, fellowship, and service, for the glory of God.
Our mission is to live as a family of active faith through Christian worship, study, fellowship, and service, for the glory of God.
Christian worship...is at the center of all that we do! In coming together each Sunday morning, we are nourished by the Word of God and through the gathering of the body of Christ, made up of friends old and new. In worship, we encounter forgiveness and hope; we absorb the challenge and the promise of God's Word; and we leave strengthened, ready to live as Christ's disciples until we come together again.
Study...is an important part of our spiritual growth. Whether learning through engaging, Scripturally-sound sermons, setting aside time for personal Bible study and devotion, or coming together in small groups to study Scripture or learn about spiritual practices, we believe that deepening our faith through learning is worthy of our time, care, and attention.
Fellowship...gives vibrancy to our life together. We take seriously that the church is the Body of Christ. Just as Paul reminded the Corinthians, when we are together, "God's Spirit dwells in us." From sharing snacks and conversation after worship each Sunday, to getting together for dinner and other congregational and community events, we enjoy coming together as a family of faith, and welcoming others into that family.
Service...is fundamental to who we are as Christ's disciples. We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to each other, to our community, and to the world. This takes place through hands-on acts of service and caring, as well as by holding special events and fundraisers which allow us to offer financial support to other partner organizations who are faithfully doing God's work.

She went to Hope College (Holland, MI), Union Theological Seminary in NYC, and a Doctor of Ministry at McCormick Seminary in Chicago.
Ordained to ministry by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Jan’s service has taken her to the Los Angeles area, Minneapolis (Bloomington), New York City, Kansas City, Louisville, Tucson, and her final position in northeast and central Texas (office in DFW). Most of Jan’s service has been in administrative work with Presbyterians, serving in Texas as a regional executive for 172 congregations and managing a staff of 15.
She loves art work and her house could become a mini gallery. She loves to travel and has taken 6 groups to Jordan/Israel/Palestine (West Bank) on annual 2-week trips for the last 6 years (prior to this past year of the pandemic). She’s also been Lebanon and Egypt, Italy, Paris, Switzerland, Great Britain, Australia and Canada. She’s been to Chile, Peru and Brazil as well as multiple places in Mexico. Her list also includes Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands.
Jan became a widow 21 yrs ago. Her husband was also a Presbyterian minister who helped churches raise money for capital and mission purposes for annual or special campaigns.

Lord, teach me to listen.
The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for Thy servant heareth." Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking. Amen.
