About Keith
Keith Clark-Hoyos is a consultant, coach, and spiritual guide who empowers church and nonprofit leaders to align with God’s calling, lead with clarity, and steward their resources with integrity.
He brings decades of experience in governance, finance, and leadership development, shaped by his service within the United Church of Christ as Executive Associate Conference Minister. In that role, he worked alongside more than 140 congregations, supporting pastors and governing leaders in matters of mission alignment, financial oversight, and organizational health.
