• David Lee  - Senior Pastor  

    dlee@clearcreekchurch.com


    On staff at Clear Creek since 1991 (when he still had hair,) David has worn a lot of hats  - student ministry, missions, groups, worship - but teaching has always been the heart of his calling. He started wearing the "official" teacher hat as Sr. Minister in 2018.


    David and Kelly met and married in 2004 (when you know, you know!) and have been granted permission (so far) to inhabit the living space of three teenage boys. If you catch him staring off into space, he's probably daydreaming about riding a motorcycle someplace he hasn't yet been....

  • Chris Smith - Discipleship   Ministry

    Chris has been on staff since 1996 first for children’s ministry, then for adult discipleship. She oversees small groups, prayer and church benevolence. She also enjoys the rewarding work she does through Freedom in Christ Ministry. Over the years, she has sought to incorporate grace-filled, trauma-informed approaches to mental and emotional health, as well as spiritual well-being.


    She and her husband John settled in Bloomington in 1994 and raised their kids, Meghan and Mason, at Clear Creek. They may be a little biased, but they still say Clear Creek is special.
