Larry Sykora

"I have worked with many churches and each one of them has been unique, even those within the same denomination. As a Generis consultant, I can honor each church by creating a campaign that is as unique as they are. I believe that in every situation my role is to be an extension of their ministry and that a campaign is as much about ministry as money. It is also important to me that every client be given the time and attention that is needed to reach their greatest potential."

Larry Sykora is known for spirited leadership given with the heart of a true servant. He is an expert at building collaborative relationships, strategizing the overall plan for a church’s giving campaign and structuring the team of staff and lay leaders who will carry it out.

After receiving his Master of Divinity degree and then doing post-graduate work at the University of Edinburgh, he has spent 38 years in ministry. As founding pastor of a thriving church in the Houston area, he saw his congregation excel in growth and personal stewardship. In 1985, after 17 years in the “local church,” Larry sensed his calling taking a new direction and has spent the past 21 years consulting with churches in the ministry of stewardship. He has led more than 150 campaigns, each with its own dynamic challenges, and has led multiple campaigns in more than 20 of these churches.
