Bishop Randy Clark
Bishop Randy Clark, a native of Nederland, Texas has carried with him a lifelong vision and dream of a ministry he was to build in the heart of Southeast Texas that would impact the community and reach around the world. In 1983, that dream began to take shape as he and his wife Renée founded Triumph Church. With a passion for people and determination of spirit, they began Triumph Church with a small group that wanted to make a difference in their cities. This small group soon grew to become a thriving ministry focused on serving others in the name of Christ.
Under his pastoral direction, Triumph Church has expanded to two locations with three congregations, including a Hispanic church representing six different countries. Randy’s vision for positively affecting his community has led to racial harmony, and reconciliation in the region. Randy travels both nationally and internationally as a conference speaker and is a prominent voice of direction and insight to the Body of Christ. He is regularly called upon by local governmental and civic leaders for input and perspective regarding community issues because of his heart for Southeast Texas. Recently consecrated as a Bishop, he also provides pastoral leadership for over thirty churches, ministries, and ministers across the country and internationally.
Over his thirty years of ministry, Randy has helped thousands through service projects, community outreach, humanitarian aid, and educational development. He has been instrumental in the distribution of financial grants through local committees and service organizations and is driven by a commitment to help those that have suffered extreme devastation and loss. After leading a disaster relief team of over 200 into the wake of Hurricane Rita, his compassion for the people devastated by the storm moved him to form Triumph Aid. In a span of two weeks, Triumph Aid distributed over 100 semi-truck loads and three cargo planes of food and supplies. The disaster relief team had the opportunity to feed, distribute supplies, and minister to over 120,000 people from surrounding communities. Triumph Aid is currently working to meet the need of the community by facilitating tree and debris removal, utility repairs, water and mold remediation, roofing, and reconstruction for individuals, families and churches that have limited resources, insurance, and labor. They are helping the elderly, disabled, single parents, and other urgent needs while facilitating local pastors with supplies to rebuild their churches and communities.
