Pastor Eric Clarke
A great man of God. Pastor Eric D. Clarke is kind, generous, funny, energetic, and a friend to all. If there is one father and husband that prays, plays, laughs and talks with his family it is Pastor Eric Clarke. He is a dynamic preacher. The only unfortunate point is he really cannot sing (smile). He is a great pastor and the Executive Secretary of the Bahamas Conference. He also serves as the pastor of the Maranahta Seventh-day Adventist Church. As the Executive Secretary he is responsible for all personnel and for accurate record keeping and statistic of the church in the Bahamas Conference. Pastor Clarke is married to Patrice, a professional nurse. They have three exciting musical children. Pastor Clarke is a model family man, husband, and leader.
