ABOUT US
JAMES W. CARLSON (PhD)
SENIOR PASTOR
I was born and raised in South Bend, IN. I did not know the Lord growing up. I became a Christian when I was 20 years old. It was in the Fall of 1994. I was a sophmore in college at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. It was a time in my life when I was depressed and was contemplating the biggest questions of life. Questions such as: Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? Is there a God? Why is there death and is there life after death? The problem of death especially vexed my soul. I came to believe then, and still heartily proclaim today, that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the only remedy for death. Jesus died on the cross for my sins and was raised from the dead so that I might have everlasting life (1 Cor 15:1-4). I got saved in the Fall of 1994. I didn't deserve it, and I still don't, and I never will. My life verse is 1 Corinthians 15:10, "I am what I am by the grace of God."
I am married to my beautiful wife, Katherine Rose. She is a lovely person, outside and in (cf. 1 Peter 3:4). We got married on March 17, 2007 (on Saint Patrick's Day). We have two beautiful boys, Jamie and Nathanael, the loves of my life. I am so blessed.
I am committed to teaching and preaching the Bible, God's Word (2 Tim 4:1-4). I am committed to preaching the gospel and equpping God's people to share the gospel and to making disciples in the church in fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) . God called me to CCC on April 1, 2017. I guess I am destined to be a fool for Christ (cf. 1 Cor 4:10).
It is my desire and prayer that all who come to Clearfield Community Church will be changed by God's amazing grace. To the Triune God be the glory forever!

“WOW LORD! WHAT A RIDE!”
TOM EARNHART
WORSHIP LEADER
Tom is a self-taught and passionate musician with roughly 30 years’ experience playing the guitar and has picked up many other instruments along the way. In addition to this, he has always had a passion for leadership and the development of the people he works with. Seeing things transformed from what the world would consider to be less desirable into things of beauty and worth has always been fascinating to him and sees his own life as such. After years of utilizing his musical and leadership gifts to satisfy his own desires, the Lord performed a radical transformation in his heart through the work of His Holy Spirit. As a result, Tom has been blessed with the opportunity to share his musical gifts and leadership in venues and congregations both large and small. If there is one thing that you will come to know about Tom is he strives to put others before himself doing all he can to model the words of Jesus… “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” He has been married to his beautiful wife since 2000 and has two teenage children.

ROBYN INABNIT
CHILDREN'S MINISTER
Robyn wants every child to know they are deeply loved by their Father in Heaven and that grace-filled love is a free gift because of Jesus, not because they've been "good enough". The Bible tells us repeatedly how all children are a gift from God. Every single life, every single child, is a reward and blessing, and Robyn believes this with all her heart. With a creative approach and a joyful outlook on life, Robyn comes as our Children's Ministry Director after serving in many different capacities with children, babies and youth since giving her life to Jesus in her own teen years. She loves to play, create, laugh and sing to Jesus. "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!!" Robyn grew up in Utah, is married to the best guy ever and has two amazing little gift boys herself.
