NORMAN SULLIVAN

LEAD PASTOR

I’m  Norman Sullivan, lead pastor of Living Truth. I was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. I have a B.A. in Economics from the University of West Florida and a Master of Divinity Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. My wife Teresa and I have four adult children and five grandchildren (one of whom has already gone to heaven).  God gave me life experience as a store manager in the Tire Business for several years before He called me into full-time vocational ministry. God sent us out of the comfort of our local church to plant this church in the year 2000. Thus, I enjoy helping others get out of their comfort zone as well. If you are tired of the status quo, we invite you to come join us or at least check us out. God is bustin’ a move at Living Truth!

Jeff Gray

DISCIPLESHIP PASTOR

Bonjour, Aswelele Udi, Sà-wàd-dee, Namaste! I’m Jeff Gray, the discipleship pastor at Living Truth.  I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I am married to Denise, my best friend, and we are celebrating 30 years of marriage in 2021. We have three daughters and three grandsons. I graduated from Murray State University in1992 with a dual degree in Special Education and Elementary Education. After teaching for eight years, I served as an elementary school principal for five years.  During my tenure as a school principal, God called our family to serve as missionaries with the International Mission Board. During the last fifteen years, my family has lived in various places in Africa but our most recent ministry assignment has been in South Asia. I am passionate about engaging the world with the gospel, making disciples, and equipping the church to advance God’s kingdom.

JEFF CRANFORD

CAMPUS PASTOR | LIVING TRUTH CHURCH,  CANTONMENT

Hello! I’m Jeff Cranford and I’m the Campus Pastor of our Cantonment Campus. I was born and raised in Milton, FL, went to UWF to attain a degree in Education, and I taught 6th grade math in Escambia County. My wife and I have been married since 2016 and we have two beautiful little girls -- Mary Katherine and Kennedy. I’ve been on staff at LTC since 2011 and it has been such a blessing to my life. I started at LTC as the worship leader. Since then the Lord has stretched me and guided me to student ministry and now to church-planting as a Campus Pastor. It's my desire to see people reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and discipled to live in obedience to Him and make disciples that make disciples. God has been — and will continue — doing great things at LTC and we’d love for you to be a part of it!

GUNTER ROGERS

WORSHIP LEADER / DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS & CREATIVE ARTS

Hi! I was born and raised in Milton, FL and graduated from Milton High School in 2013. I attended the University of Mobile before entering full-time ministry. I currently hold a B.S. degree in Theology and Church Ministry from Liberty University’s Rawlings School of Divinity. I answered the call to ministry and leading worship at a young age and have also developed a passion for excellence, creative arts, communications, and teaching God’s Word. My wife Rachel and I married in September of 2017. We have a daughter, Lauren, who was born in November of 2019. Together, we have committed our lives to serving and encouraging others. In my free time, I enjoy writing songs and producing music, playing sports, fitness, all things outdoors, and spending time with family. War Eagle! Go Braves!

Matt richards

STUDENTS & YOUNG ADULTS PASTOR

Hi, my name is Matt Richards and I am the Student & Young Adults Pastor here at Living Truth. I grew up in Florence, Alabama and made Florida my home when I married my wife Paige in 2013. Today we have two boys who keep us on our toes and bring daily joy into our lives. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, going on adventures, woodworking, and cooking!  As I began serving in the local church in 2015 I also began my journey in seminary and in 2019 received a Masters in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. As a student pastor my goal is to equip and train our students to navigate the ever changing world they live in through a biblical worldview. My prayer is that as we seek to accomplish this goal students would be equipped to carry the gospel to their friends, family, and neighbors. As a Student Pastor my focus is ot only the youth of our church but also their parents. I believe to have a Student Ministry that pursues discipleship, we must also equip and train our parents. If you are a parent of one of our students, I want you to know that I want to be a resource and support to you. If you need a place to worship on Sunday please come and see us!

Rachel Rogers

LTC KIDZ DIRECTOR | 1ST - 5TH GRADE

Hello! I was born in Pensacola, FL and graduated from Tate High School in 2016. I grew up in church with parents heavily involved serving in children’s ministry and have always had a heart for students and children of all ages! One of my first jobs was teaching 4 year olds, and before coming on staff Living Truth, I worked with high school students locally. Nothing you ever do for a child is wasted!
I married my husband, Gunter, in 2017 and have two children, Lauren Jane and Liam. We started attending LTC in 2021 and have loved getting plugged into the community and getting to know families. If you're looking for a church, we'd love to meet you!
