Pastors Johnny and Gail Raburn became the pastors of Clair Mel First Assembly of God in 1981 and throughout the years saw God do some incredible things in the lives of many people. They came to the church and started with only three people, but in a short time God brought many families to the church to help build a ministry that has flourished in the 42 years of their ministry here. In July of 2023 they decided it was time to retire and pass the ministry to the next generation. Pastor's Johnny and Gail will always be members of Clair Mel First Assembly of God and will serve as the Pastor's Emeritus for the church and as such continue to provide leadership and guidance.
