Over the last five years I have had Chris Clayton come lead worship for several different events both for my church and the associational youth camp I direct. He is great to work with, and has never just did his thing and left. Each time I have worked with him he has gone over and above to connect with the youth off stage. He cares about the people he leads in worship. Worship for Chris is much more than music. His heart for worship is what I love about him. He also has a great band to work with him as well. They follow his lead in connecting wth the youth. Chris has an open invitation to be the worship leader for our camp, and I hope he continues to be apart of our camp for many years to come.

I am never that impressed with quality, even though it was there, I am always impressed though with worship leaders that have integrity and hearts of worship themselves - that is what you will find in Chris Clayton.

Chris has a real sense of bringing the audience into the right mode for worship and for the presentation of the Word. He and his band are really gifted in leading the body of Christ. If you want a band who is more concerned about connecting your students to the God's presence than entertaining than Chris Clayton is your man.

As Chairman of the Dallas Baptist Association 'Student Camp of the Mount' I wanted to share with you how blessed we were to have Chris Clayton and his band lead our camp in worship this summer. The band was talented, well prepared, and extremely cooperative. More than that, they had a heart to worship and led a thousand students to encounter and experience God over multiple worship times. We will not hesitate to bring them on board again and I would encourage you to consider them for your next event or camp.

Chris Clayton came as a recommendation from one of the guys on our planning team. We decided to have him lead worship at our camp and I am so glad that we did! Chris and the guys did a great job leading us in worship! Not only were they extremely flexible, but did some extra stuff that we asked them to do. There is not an ounce of prima-donna in him. He has a humble spirit and deflects any and all attention to the Lord. If you are looking for a great lead worshipper then Chris Clayton is your guy!

I had Chris Clayton lead worship for our Disciple Now Weekend one year. It was an amazing experience! His ministry to our students that night was greater than we ever expected and has made a lasting impression on our students. There is no doubt that God's anointing is on this man and his ministry.

Chris Clayton has been a part of 121 Community Church for several years now. It has been a privilege to watch him continually grow deep in his faith with each passing day. He has served behind the scenes in our church with a deep passion as well as leading in front of our church with the same passion. I have also had the opportunity to serve with him in places outside 121 and have found Chris to be consistent in who he is and what he does regardless of the setting. His love for the Lord, for his family, and for those around him mark him as a man seeking after God.

Chris Clayton has a heartbeat for worship. He has the ability to connect on a special level as well as the ability to listen and lead at the same time. His talent is matchless and his heart is pure. Chris has impacted our ministry on several occasions and we have invited him back at our students request. He is a rare breed.

To lead in authentic worship requires a leader that is authentic in their walk. This describes Chris Clayton. Chris and I worked together for a year and God used Chris and his band to lead our students back into the realm of authentic worship. I highly recommend Chris to you.

We had a tremendous experience with Chris Clayton. Chris is able to set the tone for celebration or serious worship, with a great sensitivity to the Spirit and the worshippers. His lyrics are packed with Scripture and capture the awesomeness of God. He is great to work with on and off stage, reflecting a genuine Christ-like heart for ministry. I am glad to recommend him to you.
