TONY LABARCA (Lead Pastor)

Tony and Lynda met at a Christian school in Long Island and were on the schools’ worship team together. They were married in 1993 and worked at Elim Bible Institute after graduation. In 2000 Tony accepted an Assistant Pastor position in Audubon, NJ. In the fall of 2002 they moved to Oneonta, NY to help start a new church. It was there that Tony became an officer with the Oneonta Police Department. In 2008, Tony received the invitation to return to Elim where he served as the Dean of Men and Director of Ministry. With a growing desire to serve in pastoral ministry, Tony joined the staff at LBC in 2016 to serve as Associate Pastor. On June 7th, 2020 he was voted in as Lead Pastor.
