Before coming to St. Paul he held appointments in Morgantown, Ravenswood, and Huntington. Larry is married to Jennifer, and they have one child, Trey. He likens his role as pastor to that of a "friend, working side by side with other ministers. Some know that role; others are discovering it, and many more who are searching for their place in the world. God calls all of us to minister and make disciples of Jesus Christ."

He is a member of Fairmont State University's United Methodist Advisory Committee, he serves on the West Virginia Annual Conference Board of Higher Education, he is the chaplain for Marion County Hospice, he works with the Fairmont Council of Churches while being the Co-Commissioner of their Senior High Basketball League, and he serves on the Watson Elementary School Advisory Board.
