Early on in his ministry Pastor Morris was the lead Pastor at a few denominational churches. However, God had a bigger plan for him! Young Pastor Jack took a leap of faith and left his lead pastor position to establish the Largo Community Church, “a church without walls” where there were no divisions or denominational agenda. On Sunday morning June 18, 1972 Largo Community Church was founded with $50.00. The first service had 38 people in attendance at the Largo High School in Largo, Maryland.

Under Pastor Morris’ leadership, Largo Community Church engaged early on in spreading the Gospel through missionary outreach and support in the community and all over the world. Largo Community Church supports missionaries from our congregation in Africa and Asia. Additionally, Pastor Morris personally participates in church planting in the Philippines and Ethiopia. Pastor Morris has now planted churches in three continents. He further trains and teaches new pastors in many countries of Asia through the Asia Pacific Theological Seminary where he is an adjunct professor, He also served as an adjunct professor with Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va.

Pastor Morris has a special love for the youth. He believes in sowing the seeds of God’s Word to the children early in life. This results in a heavy emphasis on Biblical youth education at Largo Community Church. Also he strongly believes that men should be the spiritual leaders in their home, church, workplace and community. They should exhibit a Christian walk that radiates their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Largo has a vibrant and thriving men’s ministry that equips men for church leadership because of the leadership of Dr. Morris.

It is with great respect and love that we present this nomination of H. Jack Morris, Senior Pastor of Largo Community Church, to The Wall of Honor.
