Description: Truth. Hope. Compassion. Love. These are just a few themes that worship leader Chris Clayton desires to communicate through the music God has given him. Through his songs and leadership on and off stage Chris has a true desire and passion for people to live their lives each moment in wonder of the One who gives real life. "My prayer is that people will be reminded that we serve and worship a holy God who is more than we can ever fathom. Sometimes I feel that we often 'tip our hat' to God and go about our week without ever encountering Him and recognizing Him for the Holy One that He is." Clayton says.
Chris serves as a worship leader traveling the United States leading worship in various youth, college and young adult capacities. Since 2000, Chris has traveled on a full time basis with a heartbeat to lead authentic worship.
Chris first began leading in the local church with his student ministry. Later Chris attended Dallas Baptist University where he spent a good bit of his four years leading worship at both campus-wide Bible studies, as well as maintaining a steady travel schedule leading in various outside events. Since the beginning, God has blessed Chris with the opportunity to be a part of many events, including Disciple-NOW's, retreats, camps, rallies and revivals leading hundreds of students and adults in worship.
Chris' songs have been featured on IndieHeaven's Top 20 Worship Song Compilation, SPIN360.com (Student Praise Interactive Network), PraiseHymns Singers Club & Worship Leader Magazine's SongDiscovery.
In addition to touring, Chris works as a record producer/engineer and is involved with the worship/creative ministry at 121 Community Church in Grapevine, TX. Chris Clayton resides in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX area with his wife Kara and their four boys, Corbin, Callen, Cade and Cohen.

I will always be honored to be before God's people beside Chris Clayton. He clearly loves Jesus and his humility allows him to keep Jesus in the spotlight. He writes and chooses songs that are powerful and dripping with Scriptural truth. I recommend him and his band without reservations.

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 worshiper then Chris Clayton is your guy!

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.

We have used the Chris Clayton at our youth camp for many years and they always do a FANTASTIC job!! First of all the spirit of all the band members are great, they are ready to serve and they LOVE the LORD with all their heart. They do a great job of leading the teens in worship and creating an opportunity for the teens to freely worship God!! It has been and is a joy to work with the guys. They will do great for any upcoming event you have! Looking forward to seeing what GOD has ahead for these guys.
