Pastor Clarence McGregor, a beloved member of the local community, passed away in September 2022. He had served with Starlight Ministries at the Emmanuel Gospel Center and as associate pastor at South End Neighborhood Church for many years.
Known as “Pastor C,” he had a heart of compassion for people who call the streets home. Family, friends, and colleagues testify to the work of God in his life.
EGC staff and friends mourn his passing but praise God for his life and ministry of love.
