Worship is a crucial part of faith.
Worship brings us into the presence of God where we can praise Him, express our love for Him and give Him our complete attention. Worship also changes us when we meet with God. As He speaks to us, reveals His love, and invites us to know Him better, we are transformed.
The arts are a powerful medium. Art creates beauty and wonder in our broken, chaotic world. It advocates for and provokes change and gives us a means to express our deepest thoughts and emotions. Art speaks to our soul.
The arts are also a ‘language’ that translates between church and secular contexts, a common meeting ground. Both in performance for others and collaboration with others, the arts have a great ability to communicate messages of hope and break down resistant barriers.
This is no accident. The abundant opportunities and rich outcomes offered by creative arts are specifically designed by God and one of his gifts to us. What a privilege, opportunity, and responsibility, to use these creative gifts, for His Kingdom and His Glory.
