Meet Our Pastor »

Rev. Michael Clemons

Pastor Michael S. Clemons is a passionate and purpose-driven servant of God who has personally witnessed the transforming power of the gospel message.  A native of Raleigh, North Carolina, he was raised in a faith-filled home that laid the foundation for his ministry. Though his journey included personal trials, including a battle with addiction, Pastor Clemons encountered the life-changing power of God’s grace and now uses his testimony to bring hope and healing to others.

After relocating to Providence in 2008, he became an active member of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Providence, where he proceeded to grow in his ministerial calling. He served with the men’s usher ministry, was a member of the men’s chorus, and participated in the Young Men of Integrity ministry.  He also served as one of the new discipleship class facilitators.  It was there that he started to be equipped for ministry under the tutelage and guidance of Pastor Balark, Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church.  Pastor Michael was ordained for ministry in 2024 by the Greater Fellowship Baptist Association of RI and Vicinity.

Most recently, Pastor Clemons has also served as Resident Manager at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center, offering Christ-centered recovery and crisis counseling to those seeking a recovery pathway from addiction.  During his tenure at Sheldon Street Church, some of the individuals who have gone through the program have come to Sheldon Street to listen to him preach, and express their gratitude for his impact on their journey.  In January of 2024, he was called to serve as Pastor of Sheldon Street Church, where he leads with humility, biblical conviction, and a love for God’s people. He is supported in ministry by his wife, Tonya, his greatest encourager.

Pastor Clemons believes the mission of the church is to reach out to the lost people of this world, that they may find salvation by the power of grace through faith in Jesus Christ and be set free from sin.
