Clay Ginn

Clay Ginn

I’m a husband, father of four, worship and small group leader, seminary student, and work as a software developer for a small public safety company. I’ve been married for nearly 14 years to my lovely wife Collette and we have four children, Ashlee, Alex, Katie, and David.

I’m currently the worship leader at Pin Oaks Christian Fellowship in Anna, TX, where we also lead a small group during the fall and spring. My regular job is with a company which provides police and fire records, in addition to emergency dispatch software. I have a BS in Business Information Technology from Rogers State University, a MS in Information Systems from Tarleton State University, and will complete a MA in Theological Studies from Liberty University in May 2011. My hobbies (because I have so much free time left over) include reading, weather, and most things Disney.
