Dr. Larry Duggins
Missional Wisdom Foundation
Executive Direction & Co-Founder
Rev. Dr. Larry Duggins is a pastor and a businessperson. He is equally comfortable in the worlds of spiritual leadership and financial analysis, and he seeks to understand the margins in which those worlds meet. Larry spent 25 years in the financial industry as a banker and an entrepreneur, and has led people all of his life. Central themes in Larry’s theology include the transformational power of pilgrimage, the importance of living into the mission Christ set forth for us, and the centrality of the Holy Spirit in prayer, discernment and ministry.
​
Larry is the Executive Director of the Missional Wisdom Foundation and a member of the Lead Team, a three-person group which collaboratively provides executive direction to the MWF. He co-founded the MWF with Dr. Elaine Heath in 2010 and is Chair of the MWF Board of Directors.
​
Dr. Duggins is the author of three books and multiple articles on Christian community and Christian vocation. He leads pilgrimage regularly, including 17 groups to the Scottish Island of Iona.
​
Larry’s first career was in the field of the investment management of high yield commercial mortgage backed securities. He was the founder, President and Chief Operating Officer of ARCap REIT Inc., an Irving-based company recognized by the Dallas Business Journal as one of the 5 Best Places to Work in DFW in 2005.
