Dr. Larry Anderson

Dr. Larry Anderson holds a doctor of ministry degree from Biblical Theological Seminary, Hatfield, Pa. His dissertation topic centered on ministering to a community with the whole Gospel through its existing social services. The project assessed the social organizations of the West Oak Lane community and two agencies were identified for partnering with the Great Commission Church. The church has continued with this “Missional Living” model reaching out to the community with many ministries. As an assistant professor, teaching Practical Theology, Dr. Anderson taught and advised many students and developed the Urban Programs for the seminary. He also held many leadership positions while in college, and is called on by several organizations to be one of the leading voices of missional theology in an urban context.
