Please join us in the Arts Center as we create in response to scripture. We gather every 1st Monday of the month.

Whether you’re a singer, a dancer, a poet, a painter, or even just a doodler, together we’ll look at a section of God’s word and create in response. We’re excited to connect with God and make from our unique shapes as creatives. Let’s inspire others with fresh ways of encountering God through his powerful Word and our humble creativity.
