Kent & Cathy Larson

I (Kent) grew up in Colorado Springs, CO and Cathy in Pasadena, CA. We both received Jesus as children and have gratefully continued to grow in the depths of His love and presence all our lives.

We met in Pasadena while I was at Fuller Seminary (MDiv ’76). We initially worked together in a youth discipleship ministry at Lake Ave Congregational Church. We were married October 7, 1978. Our joy and secure attachment to each other have grown over all these years. We have five amazing adult children (one in heaven & four on earth) and one daughter “in love.”

We have been involved in ministry together for over 45 years. Our experience includes youth ministry, inner-city ministry, overseas missions, children’s ministry, inner healing, pastoral counseling, worship, intercession, prophetic/healing art, and worship dance.

We have been associate pastors at Vineyard Community Church in Laguna Niguel, California since 2000. Our primary oversight has been prayer and pastoral care. During this time, we established HOPE (House of Prayer for Everyone), Vineyard Healing Rooms, Mercy Arts Community, and Mercy Transformation Center.

Our passion is to provide resources to bring people into full transformation in Christ through a lifestyle of face-to-face encounter with the living presence of Jesus and through joyful, relational and intergenerational community.

Much of what we currently do is based on our training and mentoring with Life Model Works, The Immanuel Approach, the international prayer movement and various organic micro-church movements, primarily Luke10.
