Heartcry Chapel

Pastor Leonard is founding pastor of Heartcry Chapel. Encountering a relationship with Jesus Christ in 1984, Pastor Leonard was immediately active and passionate about sharing his faith in his sphere of influence, especially in the insurance industry where he enjoyed a twenty six year career. He was commonly known as the "business pastor", leading many to Jesus during his business career, including peers and clients. He and his wife Karen moved to Clermont, Florida in 2002 to support and serve as Associate Pastor of Heart House Ministries, having been ordained under that ministry.

In 2005, hearing God’s call to go to another level of faith, Pastor retired from business and with Karen founded Heartcry Chapel. With a heart for people without Christ and a passion to see Christians living out Biblical lives, his teachings and counsel emphasize having a real relationship with Jesus Christ and living life as a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Leonard and Karen have been married over 40 years and have three adult sons, two daughters-in-law and three grandchildren.
