Lamont D. McLean was the pastor of Living Faith Christian Center (LFCC), a church currently headquartered in Pennsauken, New Jersey with a congregation of approximately 7,000 members.
Pastor Lamont, as he was affectionately known, answered the call to ministry in 1985, when the Lord gave him direction on his purpose: "I am going to show you how to run My business by teaching you how to run your own business."
This word from God triggered a series of events that shaped Pastor Lamont's destiny and ultimately impacted the lives of thousands of people that have been touched by the ministry of Living Faith Christian Center.
In July of 1985 and with the same tenacity employed in business, Pastor Lamont would open doors to Living Faith Christian Center, a local church with a worldwide mission to reach the lost, strengthen families and raise up leaders that impact our communities and the world with the Word of God. Begun in the basement of his home while residing in Erial, New Jersey, the bible study of ten would grow to a congregation of more than 7,000 members and a myriad of ministries that have life-changing impact upon the region and the world.
A dynamic, compassionate and steadfast pastor and teacher, his inspiring and life-changing sermons have been circulated throughout the world through extensive repertoire of audio and visual teaching series, a Telly Award-winning television broadcast entitled “Faith Speaks” that aired on Fox 29 and numerous other local and national networks, and three books “ Shepherding God’s Way”, “Living With Certainty in an Uncertain World” and “Missing Links to Victorious Living” which was re-released by Whitaker House Publishing in September 2007 under the title “Opening the Door to Your Future” following the demand of his first edition which sold-out.
In addition to the expansive growth attributed to his leadership at Living Faith Christian Center, Pastor Lamont was also responsible for the birth of Living Faith Christian Academy, a private Christian school founded in 2002 to provide children in grades K-12 with a nurturing environment to develop the spirit, mind and bodies of tomorrow’s leaders.
Dr. Lamont was the recipient of numerous awards including the Small Business Administration (SBA) Award for Business Excellence and the 2007 NAACP Visionary Award. Vision International University in Ramona, CA conferred an honorary, post humus doctorate to Pastor Lamont D. McLean in June of 2007 for his life’s work and contributions to the body of Christ.
