We are blessed with a wonderful Life Teen band. Their God-given musical talents lead our congregation in song every Sunday at Life Teen mass and occasionally for other events such as Praise and Worship sessions. Check our forum for scheduled events.

Libby heard the call to Life Teen through the amazing people that God has placed in her life. She is currently a student at ULL and enjoys singing, reading, missions, traveling and drawing. Libby spent the last year on core team but she has answered God's call to use the wonderful singing voice that He has given her.

After the Holy Spirit intervened and brought Dustin to us for a couple of visits, he answered God’s call to music ministry. A bit unsure and overwhelmed at first, Dustin is now comfortably settling in with the band and is doing an outstanding job. An avid outdoorsman who enjoys sports and hunting, he also loves spending time with his wife and three beautiful children, and worshiping the Lord.








A singing debut in a school talent show at age 9 led Dana to become an active member of the church choir and vocalist for local weddings during her high school and adult life. Happily married to her high school sweetheart, Dana has three children and now teaches at Erath High School. She confesses that “singing with the Life Teen Band has definitely been the most fun of all my singing stints.”

A truly gifted guitarist and vocalist, Johnny currently serves as the band’s leader. His quiet demeanor is often complimented by his huge talent on both the acoustic and lead guitar. We are pleased that he continues to consider our Life Teen band and program a major part of his life.








A music minister for many years, Frances is always amazed and grateful that God has provided wonderful opportunities to share her love of music in a wide variety of activities with all age groups, and thanks God daily for an incredibly supportive husband and family. She cherishes the friendships and musical memories which have enriched her life and hopes to serve God for many years to come!

One of our lead vocalists, Marcus also plays a “mean” harmonica. That incredible instrument has definitely changed the timbre of music in our church! In addition, Marcus serves as our “sound man.” The band is truly blessed to have access to his vast array of musical talents.








From the beginning “Boo” eagerly became one of six “choir members” in our group. After a while, the band found itself struggling to keep a bass guitar player. “Boo” heard the Lord’s call, purchased an instrument, and with the help of friends, has been learning to play the bass guitar ever since. Great job, Boo!


Melanie Huval
Like “Boo,” Melanie Huval was, and still is, one of the band’s original “choir members” who helps to lead the congregation. Like the other members of the “choir,” she is always up for the challenge to learn a little bit of harmony now and then, and has even volunteered to sing lead in a duet with Marlayna.








After making it perfectly clear that she didn’t want a microphone anywhere near her, Nelwyn joined the group to provide the fullness of chordal structure on the second keyboard. Thanks to Nelwyn, some of the “holes” in the band’s sound have been filled.

Like the other “choir” ladies in our group, Pat has occasionally volunteered to sing lead when she felt that the Holy Spirit had called upon her to do so. As lovely as her voice is, though, it doesn’t compare to her numerous kind words and huge, generous heart.









No stranger to music ministry, Christina came to the Life Teen band with several years of experience in adult choirs. A mother of two, she enjoys sharing her love of God and music with our teens, and has, on occasion, stepped out of her comfort zone to volunteer to sing lead.
