Pastor Larry is excited and thankful to be shepherding the wonderful family at Freedom Christian Church. He has been serving the Lord in pastoral ministry since 1999 by serving, starting and leading churches in Southwest Florida and Central Pennsylvania.  He was born and raised in Lancaster, PA where he was also saved in Christ as a young teenager. A graduate of Penn State University, he eventually earned a Master of Divinity from Liberty University and a Doctorate of Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. 

​

His great passions for the church include seeing people set free in Christ and walking in His word and with love one toward another. Pastor Larry and his lovely wife, Mindy, have one adult son, Ben, and a daughter, Annie. 

​

Outside of church you can catch him reading, hunting, fishing, reading, watching college football, exercising, traveling, and reading.
