reflecting our creator in communities where he is least known
Has God given you a passion in one of the arts? Whether you love visual arts, drama, dance, music, or a combination, God can use your gifts and talents to share His good news with people who have never heard His name. Your creativity can introduce people to their Creator and inspire those who know Jesus to grow deeper in their relationship with Him.

“This is important if we are to understand being made in the image of God. As people in mission, we need emotional, creative, and rational intellect—all three. We have to be operating on all pistons as we move forward, for the sake of declaring His glory who called us out of darkness into His glorious light.”
