In 1979 Dr. Larry Reynolds moved to Denton, Texas, to become the founding pastor of Southmont Baptist Church. During his twenty-eight year ministry at Southmont, the church grew to a membership of more than 1800. The church, which began in a small storefront, now meets on a campus that includes three educational buildings, a fellowship hall, an activities center, and sanctuary. After retiring as the Senior Pastor of Southmont in December, 2006, Pastor Reynolds has remained active in the Denton area conducting weddings, funerals, and leading Bible studies. He and his wife, Carol, have traveled extensively. In addition to six trips to Israel, they have visited Jordan, Greece, Turkey, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, The Canary Islands, The Bahamas, Switzerland, Austria, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Peru, Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii. They have also cruised the inside passage of Alaska, the Caribbean, the Aegean, and the Mediterranean. Below is a picture of Larry and Carol Reynolds taken on one their most recent trip to Israel. This picture is taken from a precipice near the town of Nazareth (see Luke 4:28). In the background is the Valley of Jezreel which was the location of many major biblical events.
Larry and Carol are the proud parents of two wonderful children: Richard Reynolds and wife, Diane, of Denton, Texas, and Christi Myhill and husband, Chris, of Roundrock, Texas. They are also blessed with seven beautiful grandchildren: Ryleigh Myhill, Landon Myhill, Luke Myhill, Ainslie Reynolds, Truxton Reynolds, Paige Reynolds, and Heath Reynolds.
