Born and raised on the West Side of Cincinnati, Matt and Samantha Clarke have been part of the Church on Fire family since 2015 and now serve as the Lead Pastors. Their journey of faith is defined by simple obedience TO God, personal intimacy WITH God, and zealous passion FOR God. Their hearts echo the cry of the Moravian missionaries: “May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering.” With a commitment to joy, Matt and Samantha shepherd the church with wisdom and an unwavering devotion to glorify God and build His Kingdom.

They were married in 2013 and are fiercely devoted to their greatest calling—raising their two beautiful daughters, Aria + Reyna, in the love of Christ.
