Larissa Genat

Children and Families

Larissa is our Children and Families worker. She strongly believes that children are not simply the future of the church, but that they are the church today, and it is a great privilege to teach and support them.

“Jesus wasn’t joking when He said to let the children come to Him. Children (and their families!) are valuable to Him and it is a joy to watch them grow in relationship with God.”

Larissa is married to Marcus and loves exploring with him and their four children.
