Bill & Janice Clark
Co-Founders & Development Director
Bill and Janice Clark founded KICKO in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry with a heart to reach children and their families in Knoxville’s urban communities. For over 30 years, they have faithfully stewarded the vision God placed on their hearts, continuing to serve with passion, wisdom, and unwavering love for the city.
Michael Clark
Executive Director
Michael grew up around KICKO and is now a vital part of shaping its future. With an MA in Missiology and hands-on experience from the Los Angeles Dream Center, FIRE School of Ministry, and various overseas missions, he has been faithfully prepared for this calling. God has firmly planted him in Knoxville for such a time as this, and his passion for discipleship and outreach is helping lead the next generation forward.
