About Dr. Chap Clark
Dr. Chap Clark has spent over twenty-five years serving the local church as a pastor, professor, and ministry leader. He earned his Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary, where he now serves as a faculty member — bridging the academic and the pastoral with rare authenticity.
His writing is equally grounded. Chap is the author of sixteen books, including the widely-read Sticky Church series and Help! I'm Losing My Leaders. His work centers on the premise that the church's health depends on leaders who are theologically formed, relationally healthy, and deeply committed to mission.
At IML, Chap channels this experience into programs and consulting that equip church leaders not just to do ministry — but to become the kind of leader worth following.
