About My Family
I was born at Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta, Ga., to Barbara Hays and George Clark Bond. My sister, Bridget, and I were raised in a secure, middle-class home in Atlanta where we knew we were loved. I met my wife, Nancy Walke Bond, at First Baptist Church Atlanta in 1982. After two years of courting, we married. She inspires me to seek God and to live out my faith on a daily basis. We are blessed with two intelligent and handsome sons: Zachariah (Zach) Clark and Matthew Alexander (Alex). I love music and hiking in the mountains.
I have a Doctor of Ministry in Chaplaincy degree from Gateway Seminary, a Master of Divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a diploma in biblical counseling.

I provide oversight of the chaplain endorsement application process for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) as well as direct guidance, mentoring, training and pastoral care to chaplains and their families. Also, I represent the SBC at various professional chaplaincy organizations and meetings.
Prior to this ministry position, I was the lead chaplain at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Ga. In addition, I have more than six years of experience as a staff chaplain at hospital trauma centers in Columbus, Ohio. I am board certified by the Association of Professional Chaplains. I have served on ministerial staffs for 30 years in Southern Baptist churches in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard to reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
