Born in Brooklyn, New York, to his loving parents, Harry and Eartha Huffman, Minister Larry is one of four siblings, though he carries the memory of one brother who tragically passed away in a car accident at just twenty years old. His brother Darold and sister Ren remain a cherished part of his life. During his childhood, Larry’s family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up and spent most of his formative years. After graduating from Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School, he chose to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. Larry proudly served for six years, a season that instilled in him discipline, perseverance, and a deep commitment to service. Following his time in the Marines, Larry became a firefighter with the Roosevelt Fire Department in Long Island. He later transitioned into a career in loss prevention. Eventually, he relocated to San Antonio, Texas, where his life entered a new chapter. In 2005, Larry answered the call to ministry. He was ordained as a deacon and, just two years later, became chairman of the deacon board. As his calling grew deeper, he was later ordained as a minister of the Gospel. Larry is the proud father of three sons and one daughter, and a loving grandfather to his granddaughter, Nicci. On November 11, 2023, he was blessed to marry the love of his life, Lea. Through this union, his family has expanded, and he is now also blessed with two bonus daughters and two bonus grandsons. Larry is deeply grateful to God for his journey, and every blessing that has shaped him into the man he is today.

Dr. Lea Philippe-Huffman is the first of seven children born to Lucien and Bernadette Philippe. She is the proud mother of two beautiful adult daughters, Jeneva Lea and Savannah Lea, and the joyful grandmother of Gabriel Lee and Lennox Lamar, whom she calls the loves of her life.

Over the years, she has faithfully served alongside pastors in New York, Georgia, and Florida, gaining invaluable experience that prepared her for such a time as this. On April 10, 2021, Lea was called to pastor ALIVE Christian Center in Marietta, Georgia, and on August 7, 2021, she was ordained and installed as Lead Pastor.

Deeply devoted to sharing Christ in all she does, Dr. Lea embodies the truth that God’s love transforms lives. She continues to walk out her mission faithfully: to bless others and point every soul she encounters to Jesus… one soul at a time. “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” John 15:16
