Worship Leader: Genesis Ueligitone
Returning for 2020, Pastor Genesis is the Family Life and Worship Pastor at City View Church in Renton, WA. She has served in almost every ministry/department, though her primary call is evident through her gift of leading worship and service through youth/young adults ministry, which she has been apart of for 10+ years in various capacities. When she’s not at church, you can usually find her somewhere reading a book, taking a nap or watching HGTV/Food Network next to her husband, Jesse.
