Larissa is best known as the Founder and Senior Pastor of Victory Community Church.  She is a respected pastor, teacher, and a voice to push the Kingdom of God forward in Ohio, and surrounding states. But as of January 2017 the Lord has blessed her with a new church family and covering at Dayspring Christian Fellowship where Jim Bartholomew is the Pastor. Larissa currently serves as Chairwoman of the Evana Network Board.

Another blessing has been her marriage to Randy Willard on July 28, 2018.

Larissa grew up with her parents and siblings in the Cleveland area, and they attended the Lee Heights Community Church.  Lee Heights is where she was raised up as a leader and where she received her training in leadership as an Elder for several years. She was blessed to attend Ashland Seminary and Eastern Mennonite Seminary.

She endeavors to teach and train up a people who are empowered to embrace their kingdom purposes which God has for their lives and their families.

Pam has been a partner in ministry at Dayspring with her husband, Pastor Jim Bartholomew, for a long, long time! A couple of years ago she resigned her day job (marketing and adoption specialist at a local social service agency) and now she is available full-time for Jim and Jesus, not necessarily in that order. She is Mom to two, MIL to one, and Mimi to two crazy wonderful boys! One of the highlights of her week is Friday (otherwise known as Mimi Day) when she gets to spend the day with the kiddos!

At Dayspring, Pam does a hodgepodge of things. She is passionate about worship! She plays keys on the worship team, leads the projection team, and basically keeps things organized.

Pam is growing into her identity as a warrior; she is in training to learn how to wield her weapons, primarily worship and joy and intercession, to take out the enemy and claim territory for the Kingdom.
