Personal life
Born Lara Hughes in Belfast, she relocated to Bradford with her parents in the 1970s. She was raised in a house church, of which her father was one of the leaders, but she left the church as teenager. She came to faith again aged 21, having spent time working in a jewellers' by day and a heavy metal bar in the evening. She was initially appointed as a receptionist at Abundant Life Church. The leaders became aware of her music skills as she would often sing around the office. When the previous worship leader left the church in 1999, Paul Scanlon, the senior pastor, offered her the job of Worship Pastor.
She is married with two sons.
