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 and funerals, leading Bible studies, and organizing trips to Christian holy sites. Below is a picture of Larry and Carol Reynolds taken on their recent trip to biblical Greece and Turkey. This picture was taken in Ephesus where the Apostle Paul spent two years on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:10). In the background is the Ephesian theater mentioned in Acts 19:29.
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 five beautiful grandchildren: Ryleigh Myhill, Landon Myhill, Luke Myhill, Ainslie Reynolds, and Truxton Reynolds.
