Rev. Clay Stauffer

Rev. Clay Stauffer was born and raised in Memphis, TN and is the oldest of four children. He is a fourth generation Disciples minister, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. On October 21st, 2007, he was installed as the sixth and youngest senior minister to ever serve at Woodmont Christian Church (at the age of 27.) He earned his undergraduate degree in Religion and Sociology from Texas Christian University in 2002 and his Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2005. While at Princeton, Clay's research was concentrated in the field of pastoral care and counseling. Before being called to Woodmont, Clay served three other churches: The Riverside Church in New York City (2003-2005), Christ Church in Lausanne, Switzerland (summer of 2004), and Lindenwood Christian Church in Memphis, TN (2005-2007). Known for his preaching and leadership ability, Clay has brought a renewed energy and vision into the life of Woodmont. In addition to his work in the local church, Clay also travels and speaks on college campuses around the country and at various conventions and leadership summits.

Inspired by the Great Commission, he has always been known as a minister who believes in church growth and evangelism. Clay is committed to helping both the members and visitors of Woodmont overcome anything that holds them back from the "fullness of life" that Christ talked about during his life and ministry.
