PASTORAL STAFF

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.

of Pastors Larry & Eileen Gordon, he grew up serving in the church and has
dedicated his life to the study of God’s Word, advancing the church, and
evangelizing the culture.
From his childhood, Pastor Chace began to cultivate both an intimate
relationship with God and a broad depth of knowledge of scripture,
preaching his first sermon to the youth department while still in sixth
grade. He spent most of his youth attending to volunteer, part-time and
full-time work, including regular church maintenance duties, bus ministry,
video-audio department, church accounting, ushering, and praise team. He

ministry. He became an associate pastor at Cornerstone in January of 2001.

Pastor Cary in revamping and improving Cornerstone’s youth department,
visited jails and hospitals, and instructed Bible classes at Cornerstone
School of Biblical Studies for three years—during which time he taught the

ministering to other churches around the U.S. and taking missions teams to
other nations. Pastor Doug Daniels
