Lee McClelland (N/A–N/A) is a Northern Irish preacher and pastor known for founding and leading The Ark Church in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he has ministered with a focus on salvation and spiritual encouragement. Born and raised in Belfast, he spent his early adulthood working on the factory floor of an aircraft manufacturer before experiencing a transformative conversion to Christianity later in life. This shift led him to commit fully to ministry, establishing The Ark Church with a mission to see people come to know Jesus Christ. Married and a father, McClelland has integrated his family life into his pastoral calling, though specific details about his wife and children are not widely publicized. McClelland’s preaching career gained international attention following his battle with COVID-19 in March 2020, when he was hospitalized and nearly placed on a ventilator. He credits his recovery to a hospital cleaner—a former missionary—who prayed for him during a critical moment, a story that went viral and was adapted into a planned Netflix film slated for release by Christmas 2021. His sermons, often marked by personal testimony, have been featured at events like All Nations Church in Dublin in August 2021, and he has authored My Life is in His Hands: The Life Story of Pastor Lee McClelland, published in 2022, detailing his journey of faith, including overcoming cancer in his mid-twenties. McClelland continues to lead The Ark Church, leaving a legacy as a preacher whose experiences of divine intervention have inspired a wide audience.
