Mrs. Laney Townsend

Grammar School Music Teacher

A native of Texas, Laney had the adventure of a lifetime as her family traveled the country as a Christian Family Singing group when she was a girl. Settling in Phoenix, Arizona, she earned her degree in Theatre/Speech and Music Education while attending Grand Canyon University, where she met her husband. Married for 30 years, raising 5 beautiful children, and leading a Theatre Ministry before moving back to Texas after the death of her husband, Laney is grateful to be in Waco, where she’s worked with Waco’s Shepherd’s Heart for the last few years.

As a Song Maiden in the Kingdom, she is humbled and thrilled to have the privilege of training up children to praise our great Father God through Valor’s Grammar School Music Program. “Through the praise of children and infants You have established a stronghold against Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger”. Psalm 8:2 NIV
