About The Founder

Minister Lawrence Moore is a native of Bronx, New York and has been involved in youth ministry for over 20 years. As a teenager he worked as a summer camp counselor for the NAACP and participated in the Children for Christ program at Trinity Baptist Church in the Bronx. He received his Bachelor's degree in business management from Saint Johns University in Queens, New York. After thirteen years as a senior staff claims representative with a major insurance company, Lawrence accepted God's call into the ministry.

Minister Moore received his license to preach the Gospel in May 2004 just two days after the passing of his father. He is presently coordinator of facilities and special programs at the Greenforest / McCalep Christian Academic Center in Decatur, Georgia. He is also heavily involved in the Young Adult ministry at the Greenforest Community Baptist Church as a leader, bible study instructor, and Sunday school teacher.

Minister Moore is also the founder and executive director of the Hallowed Ground Christian Retreat (Hallowed Ground) in Stockbridge, Georgia. The mission of the program is to initiate a hunger to know and follow the will of God through the fellowship with nature and the community of believers. Hallowed Ground programs are focused on children between the ages of 5-12.

Lawrence and his wife Leslie of almost 12 years are the proud parents of seven beautiful children: Lawrence, Jr., Emmanuel, Christopher, Jeremiah, Martin, Malcolm and Jayla. He is a photographer, avid gardener, and passionate for the growth and development of all God’s children. His passion for children is evident by his full quiver and life’s work. He is truly a man that practices what he preaches.
