Our Team

Larry Wilson—Director and Counselor

While serving in youth ministry, Larry realized his real gifts and joy lay in counseling families and individuals. This led to seminary and an additional stint of training with Scope Ministries in Oklahoma City. In 1987, he and wife Debbie moved to the Triangle to begin a counseling and teaching ministry.

Larry received his M.A. in Counseling from Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana. He has a B.S. degree in marketing from Arizona State University. Larry has been involved in ministering to families since 1973 when he joined the staff of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) where he directed city teams and served on their national team.

He and Debbie served with Scope Ministries at Billy Graham’s conferences for itinerant evangelists, “Amsterdam ’86” and “Amsterdam 2000.” Larry enjoys all kinds of sports and cycles on the weekend. Even though he was raised in the west, he calls North Carolina home.

Debbie W. Wilson—Author, Bible Teacher, and Christian Life Coach​

After serving as a Christian counselor for 24 years, Debbie moved to writing and coaching. She wrote Give Yourself a Break: Discover the Secrets to God’s Rest, Little Women, Big God, and Little Faith, Big God to help believers experience God in their lives and challenges.

Debbie leads small group Bible studies and coaches women to become all God created them to be. She is an AWSA (Advanced Writers and Speakers Association) certified writing and speaking coach. 

She earned a Certificate in Biblical Studies at The International School of Theology in San Bernardino, California. She and Larry studied biblical counseling at Scope Ministries in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and completed Dan Miller’s 48 Days Facilitator Certification Program together. She completed speaker training with SCORE.

Her background includes a B.S. in Nutrition from Georgia Southern University and ten years on the staff with the high school ministry (Student Venture) of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) in Boston, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, and Orange County, California.
