Dee Clark-Riley

Dee Clark-Riley was born in Kansas City, Mo but has lived in New York, California, Maryland, Alaska, and now Belleville, IL. She's a member of the Air Force Reserves and has served our country as a medical technician, flight attendant, and currently as the Chaplain Assistant for the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. She is married to Calvin and has two children, Rodney and Calia. Her church home is Power of Change Christian Church in Cahokia, IL headed by Bishop Henry and Dr. Patricia Phillips. Dee joined the church Dance Ministry (Portraits of Praise) in 2004 as a direct order from the Holy Spirit. "I was dancing in a folklorico group and performing all over Missouri and Illinois. One day God said, "why aren't you dancing for me?" Her vision for Portraits of Praise is exponential growth; not only in membership but in the Word of God. She believes without His Word as foundation, dance is merely a performance. Pursuing her passion for dance ministry, Dee graduated in 2011 from Eagles International Training Institute and is an appointed Licensed Minister of Dance under Set Free Ministries. She’s also a 2014 graduate of Eagles International Pageantry Institute, a current student in the Eagles Intercessory Prayer Institute, and published her first book in October 2015, "I Didn't Know I Was The Cleaning Lady" under the Eagles International Authors Institute. Dee humbly serves as the leader of The Eagles Network (TEN) Illinois/MO chapter under the direction of Pastor Sumaya White.
