Pastor Lawrence Hubb
In a time of self-indulgence, idol worship, false teachers, tragedy, heartbreak, brokenness, and hopelessness, Lawrence Hubb dares to stand firm and declare God’s Word without compromise. He is a first-generation preacher, known for his God given ability to prophetically, profoundly, and practically proclaim the Gospel with charismatic vigor. He is unwavering in his Faith that God has sufficient power to change anyone, standing on Mark 9:23 which proclaims, “All things are possible to him that believes”! His focus is to be a living epistle, an example and testament to the life changing power of God; displaying the Love and compassion of Christ to all he encounters.
