At BCLR we affirm the priority of spiritual leadership. The local church is to be led by a plurality of godly leaders whose role is to care for the family of God (see Functional Duties of an Elder).

Our Philosophy of Ministry regarding Church Leadership explains more about spiritual leadership in the local church.

LANCE QUINN first came to The Bible Church of Little Rock as Pastor-Teacher in August of 1996. Lance, who grew up in Arkansas, and who also graduated from Arkansas State University in 1982, has been in full-time ministry since 1986. It was at the university that he began to earnestly read the Bible and over a sixth month period of time during his freshman year, he repented of his sin and embraced Christ by faith alone. For the next 3 and ½ years, he grew in his relationship with the Lord and upon graduation, entered seminary with a calling and desire to preach and teach God’s Word. Lance subsequently graduated from The Master’s Seminary in California, where he also served as the Senior Associate Pastor at Grace Community Church in the Los Angeles area.

GEORGE LAWSON joined the pastoral staff of BCLR in 2010 and oversees our Sr. and Jr. High Student Ministries. He received his B.A. from Washington Bible College in 2006 and graduated with an M. Div. from the Master’s Seminary in 2010. He began preaching in 2001 and served as the Outreach Coordinator for Hope Bible Church in Columbia MD. The Lord graciously confronted George’s hypocrisy and hope in false religion at the age of 19. Forsaking his sin and considering all things as loss, he trusted solely in Christ, not wanting a righteousness of his own derived from the law, but the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. His heart was set free from the love of pleasure and self and set on fire with a passion for Christ and the desire to see lives transformed by the word of God, which performs its work in those who believe. George and his wife, Jennifer, have the joy of raising three children and enjoy reading, swimming, biking, and playing sports.

TIM SENN has been the Pastor of Adult Ministries since June 2010. Tim has been a member of the Pastoral team at BCLR since 1997, serving in Student Ministries before his transition into Adult Ministries. He received his B.A. from Clemson University in 1993 and his M.Div. from The Master’s Seminary in 1997. While in college, God graciously opened his spiritual eyes at the age of 19 to realize his need to be clothed in the righteousness of Christ, rather than in his own ‘filthy rags’ of self-righteousness. Since that time, his single passion has been to know Christ more and to make Him known to others. Tim and his wife, Hannah, have four children and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and riding bikes together.
