Associate Pastor
Larry Brons
(541)226-6467Pastor Larry came to know the Lord when he was thirty years old. He entered the ministry at forty-two. He pastored at a small church in northern California for nineteen years. Larry then decided to retire and moved to Grants Pass. However, God had other plans and led him to start a church in Shady Cove. After four years there he then started attending Solid Rock Baptist Church and was asked to serve as their administrative pastor. After a year or so the senior pastor moved and Larry was called to serve as interim for the next eighteen months. He continued to serve in several ministries there but was later called to serve as interim pastor at Glendale Baptist Church. Larry and Carolyn - his wife of sixty years - started attending here at Grace and was soon asked to serve in several ministries. He now serves as associate pastor (administration). He sometimes says "I'm kinda, sorta retired." Larry & Carolyn have four children, eleven grandchildren, and a growing number of great-grandkids.
