Laney Stayton
Teach Us To Worship Coordinator 

In one way or another, children’s ministry has always been a part of Laney Stayton’s life–starting as the child of a pastor and missionary, then through volunteering at her local church as a young adult, and now as a mom of three. After taking a quick detour as a certified shorthand reporter in Texas, the Lord called her to serve as the children’s ministry director of her church in Chattanooga, TN. After serving her church for almost 8 years, the Lord provided an opportunity for her to serve the PCA by becoming the program director for a new grant-funded program, Teach Us To Worship.  She is excited about the opportunities her new role gives her to support churches and help them consider the Biblical call to worship as a covenant family!
