Music Minister and Pastor, Walt Brown
Walt is a native of Louisiana. He has been in the ministry since 1983 serving churches from coast to coast. Walt was saved at age 11 and called to the ministry at age 19. He loves serving the Lord through the music ministry. Walt's belief is that songs do not define worship, it's my life. My primary concern has to be the state of my heart.
Walt has been married to Gayla for over 40 years. They raised three sons and currently have seven grandchildren. Walt holds a Bachelors of Music Education Degree from Texas Wesleyan College in Ft. Worth, Texas and a Masters of Music Degree from West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas. Walt enjoys time with the grandkids, golf, and LSU sports. Walt also serves as a hospice chaplain.
Walt and his wife Gayla joined our church January 7, 2024
