Clayton J. Winkler

PERSONAL:

I grew up in Harrison Township on the Clinton River.  There were 7 kids in my family - 4 brothers and 2 sisters.  My siblings now live in other states that include Colorado, Wyoming, and Florida.  It has eliminated the possibility for daily visits, but makes it easy in deciding on vacation destinations.  I own a home in Rochester Hills. 

My wedding date is August 28th, 2010, so life has been filled with wonderful changes lately.  I am so blessed to be with Melissa!  Thank you, God, for such an incredible woman!

I am very active with Kensington Church in Troy.  I attend both the Troy and Rochester Hills Campuses.  I’m involved with several of their ministries. The most exciting and entertaining ministry I am passionate about is the Performing Arts Ministry.  I am an actor for the Drama Team, where we perform live skits and dramas as well as video productions for the weekend services and special events. I’ve had the pleasure of performing since 2007.

I personally participate in and lead a Men’s Small Group. Since 2003, I have participated in curriculum studies and accountability groups that encourage Spiritual Growth, as well as Character Development. Small Groups have played a significant role in my life where I’ve experienced the most life-change.
