Bob Clark

Bob Clark earned his undergraduate degree in theology and pastoral care at Northwest Christian College (Eugene, Oregon) and an M.A.R. in church history at Emmanuel School of Religion (Johnson City, Tennessee). Since then he and his wife, Debbie, have partnered as campus staff members and team leaders with InterVarsity's Graduate & Faculty Ministries. The Clarks invested eight years at the University of Minnesota, developing one of the hallmark grad groups in the country.

Even while still in Minnesota, Bob and Debbie were active spearheading IVCF's work to pioneer groups and develop staff in Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa. This led to their move in 1998 to Lawrence, Kansas. They also serve as resources for other areas of the country and continue their work on the national Graduate & Faculty Ministries leadership team. Bob has made a long-term commitment to ministry within the university context, working to influence tomorrow's leaders in education, research, and business with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
