Christa, leader at Paxon, with her husband, BusterI was born in Charleston, SC and grew up in a church there. I became a Christian at a young age.
Throughout the summers during college, I worked at Ridge Haven Camp in NC. I served there as a counselor for 4 summers and then went back as a camp director. I thoroughly love working with kids especially in the camp setting. Throughout my time there, I met other counselors that had at one point or another been involved with YL.
My husband and I lived in Virginia for a few years where I taught school, and he served as a transportation officer in the US Army. We also helped out with the youth group at church. In 2001 we moved to the Atlanta area, and we both started working for a small Christian school. Many of our students were involved in YL, and I had met a few die hard YL volunteers at church.
Last year, my husband decided to join the Navy as a chaplain. Before leaving Atlanta, I inquired about YL opportunities here in Jacksonville, and that's when I came in contact with Danna. I am now a volunteer with the Paxon team where we hope to get a club started soon.
Here are a few more interesting facts that Christa shared too!
During 10 years of teaching, I've taught K-3rd special ed (various disabilities), 2nd grade, K-6th music, high school drama and choir, and middle school Bible, Christian Living, choir, and music history. I took calligraphy in college and still enjoy it as a hobby. I originally started out as a piano major and switched my junior year to Special Ed. I love reading theology/philosophy books. As a child, I made more hospital visits than both of my older brothers combined. I love critters, and I currently have two cats named Jeb and George and two dogs named Fred and Barney.
