Clando has been married to his wife, Dorothy, for over 65 years. They have 4 children who are all serving God. In addition to that, he has been in the ministry full-time for 40 years. It all started when he received his ministerial training at Berean School of the Bible in Costa Mesa, California. His first 12 years of ministry were with a Para-Church Ministry call Teen Challenge. There they housed young people dealing with substance abuse issues that still attack the youth today. He later became the Director of San Diego Teen Challenge, where he served for 10 years. His first pastorate came in 1991 when he became the Pastor of Pacific Beach Assembly of God in California. He and his wife relocated to Stone Mountain, Georgia in 1998 with the idea of retiring. After serving as an elder of a local church for eight years, God called him back to the pastorate roll. He now serve as the Pastor of Word of Faith Church in Lilburn, Georgia.
