About: chuckandlari.com

Chuck is a pastor in Virginia. After ten years in the secular workplace following college, our family moved to Ft. Worth, Texas for four years at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Chuck's been in vocational ministry for over twenty-one years now- three as an associate pastor working with youth and young adults, and the remainder as a pastor. Recently, after over twenty years in full-time vocational ministry, he began serving as a bi-vocational pastor to help start a new church. His passion is in preaching and teaching, and more recently in the areas of church renewal and revival.

Lari is Member Services Director at a non-profit association in northern Virginia, a position she has held for fourteen years.We're parents of two grown children and grandparents of two grandsons. Chuck likes kayaking and camping; Lari also likes kayaking and camping- except for the kayaks and the camps, for which she likes to substitute shopping malls and hotels!

God's been really good to us over the years. He's blessed us with a strong marriage of over thirty years (can we be that old already?!) which has endured its fair share of ups and downs. He's blessed us with two wonderful children who've always made us proud, even more so as they've matured into responsible adults. He's blessed us with a daughter-in-law and son-in-law who are wonderful individuals who love and care about their spouses. And just recently He's blessed us with two grandsons who have added a new joy to our lives- a joy we didn't know existed, but one which we welcome more than we ever could have imagined.
