Valerie Empson

Assistant Festival Director

I have been working with SonRise going into the 7th year. I have volunteered and headed committees when involved in the military community and wanted to continue to help others. I am blessed to be a mother of 3 and grandmother of 4. I have loved music since I was little and although I grew up in an acapella church, I love all Christian music.

Why worship:
 I worship because It keeps me connected to my loving God, no matter whether it is through music, reading his word, serving others or sitting still in His presence.

Why SonRise: I chose to be a part of SonRise because I love music that glorifies God, touches my heart and brings me together with a community of those who love the Lord. I want to be a part of helping others have hope!
