Heritage Ministries is pleased to introduce Pastor Leecroft Clarke as the new Director of Pastoral Care. Having moved to the United States from Jamaica at the age of 18, Pastor Clarke brings his passion and talent to Heritage Ministries as an ordained bishop with the Church of God of Cleveland, TN, and the lead pastor of Healing Word Ministries Church of God in Jamestown, NY.

Heritage Ministries views Pastor Clarke’s experience in pastoral care as an essential part of its operation and vital to the well-being of all personnel associated with its organization. Therefore, the Pastoral Care Ministry at Heritage Ministries is designed to meet all staff, residents, and their family member’s spiritual, emotional, physical, and social needs. The function of this ministry includes providing spiritual guidance, support, counseling, and pastoral care of the sick and vulnerable, preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, pastoral leadership, and worship and music.
