later he was called to pastor his first church, John the Baptist
Church of Pachuta Mississippi. He faithfully served them for 7
years before assuming the pastorate position at Southside.

blessed his preaching ability. He preaches with power and passion,
conviction and courage. Pastor Clinton McFarland is now sought
