Rev Christal Clayton
Christal Clayton was a woman of God who during her 62 years of ministry founded Clayton Publications. Born in 1917 in Covina, California she was raised in a Christian home and married her high school sweetheart. Mrs. Clayton and her husband William H. Clayton went to Life Bible College in Los Angeles, California, graduated and pioneered their first church in 1942. During their ministry in Arcadia, California, she authored several pastoral resources. More than a million copies of her books and workbooks have been distributed internationally.

Among her best selling books are My Faith and How to Invest Money with God. My Faith, first published in 1958 and translated in over six languages, is a series of Bible studies on the basics of the Christian faith written especially for new believers. She developed My Faith out of her unsuccessful quest to find available new believer study material for her own church body. How to Invest Money with God, formerly titled Stewards of Tithing, delves into common questions and answers on God's proven principles of stewardship. For 50 years, Mrs. Clayton spoke on the subject of giving to congregations throughout the United States and, because the manner in which it was approached was so well received, churches would see an increase in giving and request her return year after year.

Christal Clayton went to be with Jesus on June 10th, 2004. Due to the ongoing demand for her resources, her children, Rick and Diana Nelson are continuing publications distributions while Jeri Matson, her Pastor's wife, is available for stewardship speaking engagements.

What Ministers Had To Say About Christal Clayton's "Tithing Message" and her My Faith series

"In her book How to Invest Money with God, she avoids the tinsel of superficial or carnal ideas about prosperity and cuts to the core of the vital issues of God's truth."
Jack W. Hayford, Pastor
   "I have had the privilege of using the My Faith series for many years now. We use it in our new converts class and find it fantastic for the indoctrination of faith and also for disciplining new Christians. I would recommend this to any pastor for teaching his new converts Bible doctrine."
Rev. Tommy Barnett, Pastor
Phoenix, Arizona
 
"The book How to Invest Money With God has been very well received in Australia, and coupled with Christal Clayton's preaching on tithing, our ministry has had a remarkable increase in church giving."
Rev. Don Baker, Pastor
Greenacre, Australia
  
 
"I find the My Faith Course to be very practical in its systematic approach to many biblical subjects that are so important for the believer to know and understand. One of the course's strong assets is the careful use of scripture to support the content of each lesson."
Rev. Tim Peterson
Barnaby, British Columbia
 
"The need for proven integrity of ministry concerning finances has never been greater in the Church. The ministry of Christal Clayton is such a tried and proven message of scriptural truth that I would highly recommend her ministry. It seems that we often have revelations about breakthrough and blessing that God desires for His people, but there is a lack of understanding the scriptural truth that will set people free in their finances. The book How to Invest Money with God by Christal Clayton reveals the Biblical truth so important to every believer."
Rev. Jim Machen, Pastor
Clinton, Iowa
  
 
"We appreciate Christal Clayton's excellent work in developing the My Faith series. The new Christians are benefiting and growing, and the more mature Christians are being strengthened by refreshing their memories regarding these principles and doctrines. We are also using this series with our Haitian and Spanish Church. They too have expressed appreciation for the excellent foundation that is established through studying these lessons. The My Faith series is making a difference in the work of the kingdom."
Robert Wise, Jr., Sr. Pastor
Brockton, Massachusetts
