Mark & Melissa Clinkscales
Youth Directors
Melissa and Mark have been a part of the Bath community for many years. Their background in education, coupled with being parents of two teenage boys, has given them a heart to work with youth. Through the youth group, they desire to help young adults develop a personal relationship with Jesus, study the Bible, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide them through life’s situations. They welcome any middle or high school students of the community to join this group.
