Dr. Ted & Mrs. Shirley Clater
Ted is an ordained minister of the Gospel and has ministered on a full-time basis with KCEA since 1979. He holds a Master’s degree in Christian Education and has 50 years of experience in pastoral and Christian education ministries. Clearwater Christian College conferred upon Ted the Doctor of Pedagogy, Honoris Causa, in 2001. With KCEA, Ted’s role is to give administrative oversight to the whole ministry and its staff, to be constantly researching and writing, and to act as liaison with the government regarding issues like education, childcare issues, and religious liberty. He is consistently involved in aiding ministry leaders in problem solving and consultations. Shirley’s Master’s degree is in Christian Education, and her 50 years of experience as church/school worker (plus wife and mother) have come in handy. She began with KCEA on a part-time basis, and this grew to a full-time commitment by the late 1980s. With KCEA, she serves as the office manager and specializes in administering the student and staff-oriented programs of the Association. |
