Our Pastor

Pastor Deneil Clarke and his wife, Racquel, bring a shared passion for faith, family, and meaningful community to their ministry at Renton Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Originally from Jamaica, Pastor Deneil has served in pastoral ministry for over a decade in a variety of settings—from a large college campus church to a small rural congregation. Before moving to Washington to serve the Renton church family, he pastored in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is passionate about studying, applying, and sharing the Word of God and enjoys spending time with his family, collaborating in music, and exploring the beauty of nature through hiking.

Racquel grew up in Barbados and has a heart for faith, family, and helping people build meaningful connections within the church community. As a wife, mother, and ministry leader, she especially enjoys creating opportunities for children and families to grow closer to God and to one another. She brings warmth, creativity, and a heart for service to ministry and is passionate about helping families feel welcomed, supported, and connected.

Together, Deneil and Racquel are grateful to serve the Renton church family and share a desire to help people experience the love of Christ, grow in faith, and find a place of genuine belonging.
