About Our Leaders
Pastor Hayes Clayton was born in Memphis, TN, he later moved to Houston, TX then to Marietta, GA and finally to Fairburn, GA where he presently resides. He has been in the ministry for over 20 years and has been the pastor of Souls for Christ 21 of those years. When he accepted the responsibility as Pastor, there were many trials to overcome with both the building and the people. Pastor Clayton drove seventy one miles (one way) to church whenever the doors were open and because of his faithfullness, God has blessed Pastor Clayton and the Souls for Christ family to purchase property for our new sanctuary. He is a pheonominal teacher and a great leader that leads by example. Among his many talents, God has anointed Pastor Clayton to play the bass guitar alongside his beautiful wife. Throughout his ministry he teaches God's people to walk by faith and not by sight and because of his never ending faith God has empowered Pastor Clayton to bring the Church and the congregation through many leaps and bounds, and God is not through with us yet.
First Lady Marlena Clayton was born in Memphis, TN and according to the woman of God; her first call to the ministry was the call for her husband and children. Her mission is to help those in need, bring people to Christ by helping them realize who He is and what He can do for them, and to be firm in the word by showing people how to live right. She takes the ministry that God has entrusted her with very seriously; she understands that it is not about her but about Jesus and what she can do as a servant. First lady also holds a position in the music ministry of Souls for Christ with the anointing to play the Organ, Keyboard and Piano. God has inspired them both to write songs that have touch the hearts of many.
It is because of their dedication to God,the ministry, the many sacrifices and the love they share they are truly blessed today. They share their lives with their children Eric, ( Hayes Clayton, Jr. now deceased ) and Michael, and their wives ( Sherri & Adonna ) and grandchildren and teach others the importance of family. Pastor Clayton is considered to be a pastor after God's own heart and First Lady is considered to be blessed among many women. They will continue to acknowledge God in all their ways and pray God's will be done in their lives as they are given charge over God's people.
