Mother, mentor, missionary, and musician, Valerie Ann Knies has served in many capacities of full-time ministry for twenty-five years. After having received a B.S. degree in Music Education and a M.S. degree in Bible, she taught band and choir. In 1986, Valerie and her husband, Jim, were appointed as missionaries to the field of Malaysia where they served for one term. Seeing unique outreach opportunities in Eastern Europe, they transferred to Pécs, Hungary in 1993. The Knieses have since ministered planting the Bible Baptist Church where, along with several other responsibilities, Valerie is actively involved in the children’s and music ministries. They have three children, James, Anna, and Mary. She has had a burden for many years to contribute to the preservation of traditional hymns and gospel songs of the Faith. Her desire is to see churches rediscover these songs, mature believers remember them, young believers replace their worldly music with God-honoring music, and young children, including her own, revere them for a lifetime to come.

Heather Ross began her music education when she was six-years-old. At the young age of twelve, she began accompanying church services at the piano. She has completed her B.S. in Sacred Music. The eldest of ten children and a pastor’s daughter, Heather has used her abilities for the Lord. Among her areas of ministry are writing, musical arranging, teaching piano and serving as the secondary education teacher in the Mukwonago Baptist Christian Academy in Mukwonago, Wisconsin.
