Our new pastor is J. Mark McClamrock. Mark has been a pastor in the ARP Church since 1991. He and his wife, Susan, have six children. Mark began his work here as the stated supply in February of 2008. The church later called him to be its pastor, which he accepted, at the end of August, 2008.

He was born and raised in Concord and graduated from Concord High School in 1978. His parents were Fleet and "Deta" McClamrock. He has one brother, Fleet Lee McClamrock. Mark graduated in 1986 with a B.A. degree from Columbia Bible College & Seminary (now Columbia International University) in Columbia, South Carolina. He continued his education there and received a Master of Divinity in 1991. Mark has served as an associate pastor and pastored two churches in the ARP before coming to Concord. It is not often that God would bring a pastor back to his own home town to lead a church - but in His providence He has in this situation. Both Mark and the church continue to ask God's blessing - that what has begun with great joy will continue to grow sweeter in our work for the Lord together!
