Our Pastor and First Lady are the proud parents of three - Larry Jr., Darryl and Jessica. Rev. and Mrs. Green are educators and administrators who are lead by the spirit of God. Rev. Green is a former Assistant Principal at the Agassiz Elementary School in Jamaica Plain Massachusetts and our First Lady holds a master’s in education and is a graduate of the Bethel Bible Institute.

Rev. Green has served on several community boards, such as, the Roxbury Multi-Service Center, METCO, Pine Street Inn, the Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, and IMPACT Roxbury. He is a lover of God and His Word. He has more than 30 years of experience in personal leadership, counseling and curriculum design. In 1985 he was certified as a Prepared/Enriched Marriage Counselor. Additionally, he has received certificates from the Efficacy Institute, Boston Public Schools Center for Leadership Development and BPS Mentor Program.

He received his master’s in education in January 1990 from Cambridge College and is presently enrolled in Doctor of Education Program. In February 12, 1999 the Southern Baptist Convention certified him as a Seminary Extension teacher in the Basic and Diploma Series. This certification represents approval for him to teach courses anywhere in the worldwide network of Southern Baptist Seminary Extension centers.

Rev. Green’s favorite scriptures come from Proverbs 3:5-6. He demonstrated his willingness to trust in the Lord with all of his heart when he followed the leading of the Lord as he was led to Mount Calvary Holy Assembly. It was at Mount Calvary Holy Assembly where he served as Jr. Church Pastor for approximately 10 years. As he continued to acknowledge God, he was directed in August of 1983 to go back to the church of his youth, New Hope Baptist Church, to become the Assistant Pastor, where he served faithfully for approximately 10 years. In August 1993, Rev. Green was called to pastor Timothy Baptist Church and was installed the second Sunday, March 1994.

He and his wife Betty have conducted numerous workshops dealing with family, community, and social issues, such as the Problem Child, Parent/Child, Communication/Effective Ways of Teaching Sunday School, Training for Effective Church Membership, Positive Problem Solving, Contracting, Effective Communication, Christians Interfacing with Christians, and Individual Accountability. More important than their success and community commitments are their love for God and their love for the people of God.

Deaconess Green is a true woman of God! As first lady of Timothy, she saw a need and began to share her knowledge of the Word and her love for the members of Timothy. She has a particular love for the youth and the women of the church. This love was the motivating force that led her to develop the WEBS classes (Women's Evening Bible Studies). As a result, women of all ages, dealing with a complexity of social issues have strengthened their walk with the Lord. She is a main catalyst in assisting in the preparation and research of support for other classes that are held at Timothy. Deaconess Green served as President of the Deaconess Ministry for five years and was also Co-director of the Senior Choir. She is the senior consultant for the African American Churches for the Greater Boston Baptist Association, Director of Christian Education and Discipleship, and a board member of the Baptist Convention of New England. Deaconess Green is truly an example of a strong armor bearer for her husband as well as the church.

Rev. and Sis. Green are firm believers that they must stand on the WORD of GOD. This belief is the major force that enables them to work as a team. We at Timothy thank God for placing such servants in our mist.
