Our staff is compromised of pastors, deacons, and volunteers who desire to glorify God in everything they do. We want our church office to provide an environment that encourages people to use technology to further the spread of God’s kingdom. Feel free to contact them if you have any questions or if there is a way they can serve you. If you’d like to volunteer, call the church office at (314) 961-2232 or send an e-mail.
We have a plurality of elders/pastors who meet regularly. Each has his area of focus. Our elders have the responsibility of shepherding and leading in the spiritual development and accurate teaching of the Word of God. The elder board is made up of staff pastors and non-staff pastors who take this responsibility seriously and do so with joy.
Hi, I’m Matthew Selay, the lead pastor at Clayton Community Church. I’m so grateful to be married to my sweet wife, Brenda. We have two amazing kids, Ruby and Isaac. My five-year-old Isaac loves tools and “working,” we do projects together and fix things. Ruby, our seven-year-old, is quite the writer, she is very compassionate and will probably be a nurse when she grows up. Recently, I was asked, “What do you do for fun?” I discovered….I’m not very fun. I do enjoy reading and entrepreneurship.
One of my life verses is Matthew 16:24, Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. This verse has impacted my life and gives our church purpose in living out our faith. To me, following Jesus is about loving God and loving others.

Our deacons are those who model spiritual service and work alongside of the elders to assist their leadership and teaching in the practical life of the church. Our deacons are all non-staff members that sacrifice much of their time and resources to meet the needs of the church.
