Leadership
Ron Larsen, Pastor
Pastor Ron Larsen grew up in a Christian home in Staten Island, New York, but at a young age turned his back on God. The Lord Jesus Christ mercifully saved Ron out of a life of drinking and drugs in 1994, at the age of 28. He met his wife, Lynette at church and they were married back in 1998. The Lord has blessed them with five children; Jake, James, Jynessa, Jannalyse, and Jylisia.
About 15 years ago, through a church Bible study, God started directing Ron towards pastoral ministry. While working full-time in IT, he was able to attend Trinity Theological Seminary, and earned a Masters in Theology in 2009. Ron, Lynette and the family were actively involved in church ministry in the NYC area for many years, until the Lord called them to Atlanta Bible Church in May of 2016.
