Newton Presbyterian Church

Bethany Carnes, Director of Contemporary Worship

Bethany MacLeod Carnes has found NPC to be a home base throughout her faith journey. It has been a community offering real Christian relationships and a place to challenge and encourage who she is developing to be in Christ. Bethany loves to use her creative gifts to create pathways for others to encounter the Living God. She has a desire to teach others to learn to love worship. Bethany can usually be found sporting a hoodie sweater with flip flops. And for a straight way to her heart...try ice cream!

Favorite Quote: "Much of nature seemed to be an excited repetition like that of an excited schoolmaster saying the same thing over and over again. The grass seemed signaling  to me with all its fingers at once. The crowded stars seemed  bent upon being understood. The sun would make me see him if he rose a thousand times. The recurrences of the universe rose to the maddening rhythm  of incantation and I began to see an idea. In short I have always believed that the world involved magic. Now I thought that perhaps it involved a magician. And this painted a profound emotion always present and subconscious; that this world of our has some purpose and if there is a purpose there is a person. I have always felt life first as a story and if there is a story, there is a storyteller." GK Chesterton
