HEART OF WORSHIP
STEERING TEAM
Heart of Worship Ministries is led by a steering team of four worship ministry leaders, who collectively represent over 90 years of ministry experience. The founder, Laura Payne serves as Associate Professor of Music at Urshan College. Nanci Holston is a music ministry consultant who bases out of Central California and currently serves at Revival Center in Modesto, CA. Kevin Howard is the new Choral Director at Urshan College as well as a traveling music clinician who serves conferences and churches across the nation, and works closely with Capital Community Church in Ashburn, VA and Pentecostals of Alexandria in Alexandria, LA. Betsy Ruvalcaba-Christensen brings a rich ministry legacy in a bilingual church and currently bases out of Seymour, IN, conducting worship seminars.
The steering team began working together in the mid 2000’s, and to date has put on 10 conferences and one retreat together. This team has a shared vision and works year-round to create direction and ministry strategy for Heart of Worship.
