Tim Clayton, Pastor
My life is driven by love: love for God, for God’s people, for God’s Word, and love for my bride of 32 glorious years, Leslie. My greatest desire is to continually point people to Jesus, enabling them to become fully-committed followers of Christ. I have a great desire to see CFMM become a church that continually reflects Christ in every area, and is committed to living out God’s Word through evangelism, discipleship, missions, and networking in such a way that we are continually expanding God’s Kingdom through our ministry.
I enjoy spending time with Leslie. Together, we love the great outdoors – hiking and spending time enjoying God’s marvelous handiwork. I love music of all genres, and I love reading. Leslie and I have three adult children, and two grandchildren. FAVORITE VERSE: "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10, NIV). This verse is my constant, daily prayer to stay focused on God, enabling me to fulfill His purpose in my life. FAVORITE BOOK: Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas FAVORITE HYMN: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross FAVORITE WORSHIP SONG: everything by Rend Collective |

Josiah Strowd, Youth & Worship Leader
I am originally from Alabama so I throw out a big Roll Tide, but I have served on and off the island of Oahu for 4 years doing youth ministry and collegiate ministry. I love Hawaii so much. I love the natural beauty, the people, and the culture of Hawaii. There are many things I love to do and enjoy. I love to lift, play sports, hike, missions, experiencing new things, and I love to laugh and talk story with people. Anything more you want to know, come see me at church and worship with us!
Howzit! If you are looking at my profile for the perfect Youth & Worship Leader, well you can go ahead and close the page. I readily admit that I am not. I am far from perfect, but I am close to the One who is, Christ. Christ is the One who has redeemed me and is the One who continues to sustain me (Philippians1:6). And I am overly grateful for that. But what it really boils down to is this: I want to reach others for Christ. Whether it be through talking, joking, singing, playing sports, or even just hanging out, I want my life to glorify God! I know I do not do anywhere near enough to be called a son of God, but I strive nonetheless because of the grace through His beautiful gospel that He has given me. I know it is not by my strength and knowledge that gets me through the day, it is all God. Soli Deo Gloria. FAVORITE VERSE: “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:24 (ESV) FAVORITE BOOK: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis FAVORITE HYMN: “His Eye Is On the Sparrow” FAVORITE WORSHIP SONG: “Death in His Grave” by John Mark McMillan |

FAVORITE VERSES: "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23: 1 - 6 |
