First Pentecostal Church of Edna

Our Pastor

Rev. Darrell Clark has been in the active Apostolic ministry for over 34 years.  Born and raised in a small Mid-Western town, he received his B.A. degree with a major in mathematics at Earlham College in Richmond, IN.  Subsequently called to the ministry, he assisted his pastor for three years while teaching school. 

In 1978 he and his wife began a five-year career as an evangelist holding revivals throughout the U.S.  Concurrently, Rev. Clark was a field representative for Accelerated Christian Education (ACE). 

In 1983, he and his wife Peggy and their son Brannon, moved to Kingsport, TN to assume the pastorate of the Calvary Apostolic Tabernacle.  During this 10-year stay, Rev. Clark was also the founder and proprietor of a lucrative electrical contracting business. 

In 1994, the Clark family moved to Edna, TX to accept the pastorship of the First Pentecostal Church of Edna, due to the untimely passing of the founder and pastor of 41 years, Rev. M.C. Lee.  Now, with 14 years and counting, the First Pentecostal Church of Edna, under the pastorship of  Rev. Clark, is continuing the Pentecostal Apostolic legacy and has become a vibrant and exciting example of true Pentecost in action. 

With the addition of the Edna Christian Academy, a Christian school for grade levels K3 - 12 that uses the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum, to the church's ministry, the church is true fulfillment of the the scripture "...continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine..." and "Train up a child in the way he should go..."  Rev. Clark received his M.A.I.S. degree in the Spring of 2003 at the University of Houston - Victoria with concentrations in history and education. 

It is the sincere desire of Rev. Clark and the entire congregation of the First Pentecostal Church of Edna to extend to all a cordial invitation to visit them any time during their services.  Come and experience the exuberance of Pentecost on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm.
