Marsha Seymour
I was raised in church and have been active in church all of my life. I started singing at an early age and also learned to play the piano and organ in church. Over the past several years I have enjoyed leading the music for two different churches. Since 2013 I have directed the music program at Woodlawn Baptist. I lead the music in our weekly worship services which contain a mixture of songs that are old and new. I work with our choir on special music and also provide assistance to soloist wanting to sing. You can find me on Facebook or contact me via email: Marsha_seymour@yahoo.com
Deanna Corbett
When I was 19 years old, I felt the call of God to enter into ministry. For years, I served as part time Minister of Youth in south Alabama before eventually attending New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Upon obtaining my Master's of Divinity degree in Dec 1997, God brought me to north Louisiana to serve Him in various ministries including full-time Minister of Youth, hospice chaplain and NAMB Missionary. I have been a member of Woodlawn Baptist Church since 2012 and have enjoyed serving the Lord and serving the church by teaching Sunday School, and helping lead youth Bible studies and events. I have a passion to teach the Word of God and to engage with fellow believers in His service.
