Encouraging those who love the intersection of art and the church. SEE PROJECTS IN OUR PHOTO ALBUMS God desires for his church to accurately reflect him.

OUR PURPOSE IS TO REFLECT GOD'S CREATIVITY THROUGH THE CHURCH BODY. We exist to grow God’s people and place into a wellspring of creativity and imagination. So, as artists, our job is to reflect his creativity and transcendent nature through the arts.

Behold: Making All Things New
A Hands-on Assemblage Workshop on
Redemption and Restoration

You’re invited to a unique and powerful workshop where we’ll explore the art of assemblage—a way of making that parallels the redemptive and restorative work of Christ. Using found objects and a variety of everyday materials, you’ll learn to transform lowly, forgotten, or discarded items into meaningful works of art. In this workshop, arts leader Steven Homestead will invite us to see the beauty in the overlooked and the potential in what’s been left behind.
