Rev. Luke Barson, Founder and General Overseer of LHCC, stood at the threshold of his golden jubilee—a milestone that transcended mere years and touched countless souls.

A Journey of Devotion

Rev. Barson’s journey had been one of unwavering devotion. From the humble beginnings of Ministry at Full Gospel and now to a church he has founded, LHCC to its global impact today, he has poured heart, soul, and countless sleepless nights into nurturing a generation of young believers. His vision extended far beyond the walls of the church; it reached into the hearts of the disillusioned, the broken, and the lost. Through tireless effort, he had transformed despair into determination, failure into resilience, and darkness into radiant hope.
