Clifton has been working with students for 12 years, he chose this to help others learn from his mistakes and choices as a teen and young adult. Over those years he has had an opportunity to be a part of YoungLife, Small to Large Student Ministries, speaking at school assemblies as well as churches, and as the Student Pastor for The Church of Eleven22, a multi site church in Jacksonville, FL. Now God is using Clifton to plant Redline Church in Encinitas, CA with a continued passion for the next generation! Clifton's passion is rooted in Romans 15:14-21. His hope is to see students meet Jesus for the first time, find Grace in the cross, and then help them discover their purpose. Whether it is in his city or as he travels and talks to Middle School, High School, and College Students, Clifton finds no greater joy than getting to be a part of what God is doing in so many lives by sharing his story of being a teenage father and struggling to find his purpose!

What are people saying?

"We invited Clifton to be the speaker this year at our Middle School Retreat. I provided Clifton with an overview of our theme for the retreat and he successfully put together three talks that focused on the theme. He was able to effectively engage our middle schoolers through timely participation, personal stories and humor. I would highly recommend Clifton if you are looking for a speaker for your next youth event."
