The Heart of Intentional Christian Grand Parenting

Larry Fowler 

Founder of Legacy Coalition; Riverside, CA

For 50 years, Larry Fowler has pursued his calling to children’s ministry as a youth pastor, missionary, author, speaker, international trainer (in 47 different countries), and senior executive with Awana Clubs International. In 2012, he was the recipient of the national Legacy Award from the International Network of Children’s Ministry, recognizing him for his lifelong impact upon children’s ministry in America.  Not long after, Larry felt God’s call to a new focus—grandparenting—and in 2016, he led the launch of the Legacy Coalition.  This launch was the catalyst for a national grandparenting movement that calls Christian grandparents to become intentional in perpetuating faith in their families.  Now, its 100-plus staff members and key volunteers serve local churches and equip grandparents through podcasts, webinars, blogs, printed materials, and other resources. They also conduct the only national conference on Christian grandparenting, the Legacy Grandparenting Summit.  Larry and Diane have two grown children, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and live in Riverside, California.
