I am a singer/songwriter/speaker in Christian Music Ministry for almost 30 years. These days I am most known for my Christian Country music. However, I also sing Southern Gospel, Traditional, & even some Contemporary songs. I am a native Texan, serving a large territory of the state and traveling out of Texas on occasion. I have numerous music CDs available, of which many songs have or are currently charting on Nashville & National music charts. I am a multi-nominated and winning artist in several categories, but I prefer to point to Jesus rather than myself. I also enjoy speaking at ladies' events, retreats, etc., or combine my music with a message. I would love to visit with you!
Heather sings with love for our Heavenly Father . She sings from her heart and touches your soul. You will be blessed to hear her.
Heather is an amazing Christian.
Her worship is pure adoration for the Lord.
She interviews wonderful people with intriguing testimonies.
She truly lives out her beliefs.
It was not my event. I simply witnessed her at area events.
Response from Heather Thomas Van Deren/HTV Ministries:
Thank you so much, Lonnie. It's a true blessing to know you, and to also do what I do for our Lord! It's exciting to share His love with others!
April 24th, 2022, Godley Methodist Church was blessed by the heavenly voice and testimony of Heather Thomas Van Deren. Heather shared her God given talent to a crowded church of young and old. You could feel the Holy Spirit, you could see God's Glory shining through Heather. Her testimony and songs moved all those present. Before it was all over, the congregation enthusiastically joined Heather in a Hymn. Heather's "It's all about Jesus" attitude and Love lifted all those present. "If the Good Lord's Willin" Heather's music can bless your church as well.
Response from Heather Thomas Van Deren/HTV Ministries:
That was a fun day for sure, Shelton! Thank you so much for all of your positive comments! God bless you!
The Heart of Texas Cowboy Church invites Heather to sing on a regular basis. There are a few things you know you are going to get when she performs. First, her voice is beautiful and the music will be very good. More importantly, she will be a wonderful representative for Jesus Christ. She will sing the Gospel each and every time.
Response from Heather Thomas Van Deren/HTV Ministries:
Thank you for the vote of confidence, Robert! Heart of Texas Cowboy Church has been one of my favorite places to minister in song for many years! Love each of you as family!
Heather is not only a consummate professional, showing up early with all of her equipment at a Women's Club event, she is an endearing, honest and extremely talented gospel singer. She ministers with her music, her attitude and her demeanor without being pushy. People have been thanking me for days, for having her at our meeting as our entertainment. You can't go wrong having Heather at any event. Would have her again and again and recommend her highly.
I asked Heather to sing at a Christmas event where most people did not know GOD:
Her sweet spirit, along with the messages in her songs ushered in the presence of GOD, and no one wanted to leave, even at the end of all Heather's songs. Heather has such a peaceful (not at all boring) demeanor, and the love of GOD in her is evident to all around her.
This wonderful lady has a God given gift. She has an amazing singing voice and a way of speaking that touches one's heart and mind in a way that you just know has to be the truth.

I am here to be the best "me" I can be, both for the Lord, & for your listeners. I carefully consider exactly what you are needing in the way of music or ministry. I tailor my songs to meet the people's needs as well. I am perfectly content singing only 30 minutes of music, or providing a full concert. I love giving my testimony about the things Jesus has done in my life, & am always willing to speak, as well. My goal is to MINISTER to the people, NOT perform!
Heather Thomas Van Deren has loved music since she was a little girl. She took her first piano lesson at 7 years of age, and would sing & play for anyone who would listen. She has fond memories as a child of holding performances for her parents and their dinner guests, “whether they wanted to attend or not!” From music recitals, to singing or playing in talent contests, Heather loved, loved, loved all things music! She continued growing her musical talent throughout high school and again in her adult years through service in her church.
Although she was saved in her teens, it wasn’t until she was a young mother that God began calling her to step forward and sing for Him. Heather was with the popular ladies’ trio “Hearts to Him” for 10 years, and with the group “Rejoice” for 8 years prior. She has since stepped out in faith & is singing on her own. Heather has also been active in jail and prison ministry. Her first solo project entitled “My Heart Alone” was released in 2009. To date Heather has 5 solo CD projects, receiving numerous nominations and awards through the Country Christian industry. Heather's music is being played worldwide over radio. She also hosts the testimony series called "What Love Means" which is airing on both radio and TV. In addition, Heather speaks at ladies' retreats and loves to testify between songs when in concert or ministering at churches.
Heather resides in Millsap, TX on a farm where she & her husband raise Angus show cattle. After several life-changing events, she has a new outlook on life. “God is my Shelter, my Peace. Like Gideon, I want to possess fearlessness and readiness. It’s the least I can do for my Lord.”
I am currently singing with pre-recorded tracks, although I also have experience with live bands. If your organization does not have the sound equipment needed, I do have my own system that I am happy to set up at your location.
