Thaxton

is named new contemporary worship director at North Fayette UMC

Fayette County resident Carson Thaxton, former music, arts and drama

director at Camp Calvin Center, has been selected as the new Director

of Contemporary Worship at North Fayette United Methodist Church. Thaxton

presently works in video production, as does his wife, Kathryn. Thaxton

also teaches piano, guitar, bass and drums.

Thaxton received a bachelor of arts degree in music composition from

Clayton State, and has been active in both acting and directing. He has

written and directed a number of musical and dramatic productions and

has conducted drama classes and song writing workshops. For the past

three years, he has led high school, middle school, and elementary school-age

youth in summer camps. In 2003, he completed a solo album of original

music.

Thaxton grew up in Prague, the Czech Republic, in the home of missionary

parents. He learned about non-traditional ways of worship in the English-speaking

church where his family worshiped. It was there that he was first part

of a worship team and he has since led worship teams in two other congregations.

North Fayette's contemporary worship, created almost three years

ago as The Grove, was planned to appeal to students and families who

enjoy an informal, dress-as-you-like environment.

The Grove meets each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in the Activities Center of

the church, 847 New Hope Rd., Fayetteville.
