Larry and Barbara came to SonScape Retreats after serving 25 years in the local church. In 2002, they were chosen to lead SonScape Retreats when our founding couple, Bob and Sandy Sewell, began their transition out of the leadership role. Larry’s pastoral career took them from the inner city of Chicago to the suburbs of Minneapolis. He served in a variety of roles, beginning as a youth pastor, then associate pastor, followed by church planter, and finally the lead pastor over a growing suburban church and large staff. Larry’s ability to listen and discern well has helped many to find hope and healing. Larry graduated from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota and went on to receive his Masters of Divinity degree from North Park Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.
