Pastor Larry Gordon

Pastor Larry Gordon pioneered Cornerstone World Outreach in 1982. Prior to being called to Sioux City, he pioneered two churches in Georgia and assisted with the establishing of two more in Georgia and others in the Midwest. Operating in the office of an apostle, he is a father to ministers internationally, an author, singer, songwriter, and teacher. His 40 years of ministry experience make him a great asset to the Body of Christ locally and internationally.

After receiving his theological degree in Missouri, Pastor Larry was used of God particularly in the South to pioneer and establish churches. While serving the largest Christian Church in the state of Mississippi, the Lord baptized him with His Spirit and led him out to preach the uncompromised Word of Faith to an interdenominational people. He has been instrumental in starting churches in America and Latvia.

By authoring the book, AFTER THE DUE ORDER, Pastor Gordon has been used to touch pastors and bless churches all over the world. Over 130,000 books have been distributed around the world, particularly in the former Soviet Union.

With invitations to minister to ministers in several nations as well as around the United States, Pastor Larry is increasingly in demand in the area of God's authority and government in the church. Pastor Gordon ministers the Word of Life. Victory NOW is the theme and key note of his message. Deliverance NOW from the three-fold curse of poverty, sickness, and sin. The cry of his heart is this: Faithful obedience to the Word of God always causes the believer to triumph through Christ.
