“Clowns For Christ,” a ministry out of Boardman United Methodist Church, just outside of Youngstown, Ohio, is one example of how clown-themed ministries are sweeping the religious world by storm. Don’t believe us? Then check out the official, “How to Start Your Own Clown Ministry” page at the North American Mission Board’s website. (But just know, they take this sh*t seriously. Like, surprisingly seriously.) Additional music by Kevin McLeod.
