Rev David Clark hails from the South East London/North West Kent border, and trained for ministry in the Churches of Christ. This is one of the groups that came together to form the United Reformed Church

Since training at Overdale Theological College in Selly Oak he has served churches in Leicester, the Furness Peninsula, Fulham, Saltdean and Reading before moving to Ashford in 1996. He has a particular interest in industrial mission, and is committed to working ecumenically.

He says, "The present and future of Ashford, and significant changes in the structure and expectations of society, present a real and exciting challenge to the Church. I am thrilled to be involved in these as part of a United Church".
