Larry R. Schoonover - Bishop

Born in Moscow, Idaho to a military family on the go, I was primarily raised on the East Coast (New Jersey). Upon returning to Washington State, I was invited to the First United Pentecostal Church of Yakima, Rev. Daniel R. Leslie, Pastor.  Eighteen months after being baptized in Jesus Name and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, I met the woman I would marry at our annual District Youth Convention in Puyallup, WA. Who would ever guess that we would one day return here to pastor.

During our fourteen years in Yakima we served in many capacities on both the local and state levels. Bus Ministry, Choir Directors, Sunday School Teachers, Outreach Directors, District Prison Ministry Director, District Youth President and Assistant Editor to the District Paper (The Washington Word) In January of 94', we made the choice to pursue ministry instead of our careers and moved to Sunnyside, WA to begin a home missions work.  Two years later my family and I assumed the pastorate at New Life Pentecostal Church in Puyallup, WA.

Currently serving as Bishop and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for The LightHouse in Wapato, WA and New Life Pentecostal Church in Puyallup, WA.

Joel Hart served as pastor these past two years.  He and his family have been a great blessing to the congregation.  Recently he has answered the call of God to relocate in the State of Arkansas.  We will miss he and his family very much.
