Larry Thompson

Larry Thompson came to Travis, and to Fort Worth in 1969, in time for his senior year at Everman High. During that year at Travis, he met his future wife, Joy, in Youth Choir. Larry studied psychology at Texas A&M and law at Texas Tech. Larry and Joy came back to Travis in 1977 after law school and have served most prominently as Bible study leaders ever since, working with college students, 5th graders, young adults, median adults and, for more than a decade now, the un-graded Koinonia Sunday Bible Study Class. He also has served as a deacon, deacon chairman, international mission trip team member, and committee member and on various task forces and special purpose teams engaged in a variety of ministry activities. He also has been involved with Travis’ service to George C. Clarke Elementary.

At age 9, in Odessa, Larry came to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. His spiritual life began to blossom as a college freshman through a program of intense Bible reading and study that has continued and grown across his adult life. Larry and Joy raised their three daughters, all now married, in Travis. He spent most of his professional life as an assistant district attorney in Tarrant County, the last 14 of those years representing the Tarrant County Hospital District. He retired from the DA’s office in 2018 and now serves as General Counsel for Acclaim Physicians Group.
