Brittany was raised in Hammond and has a heart for serving the area through worship. At a young age, she felt the calling of the Lord to music. Brittany started a music career in 2003. She had the privilege of meeting a lot of people and toured many places, but God was calling her to sing for Him in the local church. She now enjoys serving with her husband and teaching her son, Brooks, to follow God’s call on their lives. 

Dana was raised in Ponchatoula as a member of Westside Baptist Church, where she met her husband, Blake, in youth group.

In 2016, Dana received her B.S. in Elementary Education at Louisiana Tech University. After teaching four years in the classroom and serving alongside Blake’s Ministry, God began to mold Dana’s talents and passions towards the local church.
