Larry has always had a passion for outreach, stemming from his years as a full-time pastor in three different churches. Each church he served presented unique challenges, yet it was in these moments of struggle where his desire to help others truly flourished. He understands more than anyone the heartache that comes when a congregation struggles to grow and connect with their community. Whether it was a limited budget or the pressing challenge of increasing attendance, Larry worked tirelessly, once helping a church in Tampa grow from 100 to 300 members in just three years through innovative outreach solutions.

In 2019, Larry launched Next Level Church Marketing, driven by a mission to support churches in overcoming the challenges he faced firsthand. The world changed dramatically with the pandemic in 2020, and Larry recognized that many churches were now struggling more than ever to reach people online and invite them to worship. With his first-hand experience and a heart for service, Larry began implementing digital lead generation strategies tailored specifically for churches. This commitment has led him to help hundreds of churches see significant growth – often bringing in over 50 new guests through multiple digital outreach methods.

In 2023, Larry became a StoryBrand Certified Guide, solidifying his expertise in communicating effectively with congregations about their unique needs. His proficiency with the StoryBrand Framework has made him a recognized leader in church marketing, ensuring pastors can articulate their mission and expand their reach within their communities. When you partner with Next Level Church Marketing, you’re not just getting a service; you’re gaining a trusted guide who has been in your shoes and is dedicated to seeing your church thrive.
