The power of creativity is not in performance.
It's in the process.
The magic is not in the outcome,
but in who you become along the way.
In a world—and a Church—that often treats art as decoration or entertainment, we believe creativity is at its essence, a spiritual practice.
When we create, we co-create with God.
We come to know God, ourselves, and one another more deeply.
It’s how we hold beauty and brokenness in the same breath. It’s how we resist the numbing pace of the world and make space for presence.
Here's what that looks like:
Creativity is formational, not only performative.
It shapes the way we pay attention, stay present, and engage the world—not just what we produce.
We meet God first
as Creator.
Making is the first divine act—and one of the ways we most deeply bear God’s image.
The Holy Spirit’s first filling was artistic.
Bezalel wasn’t an afterthought. He was the beginning of Spirit-led making. That still matters.
Art is essential to human formation.
The field of neuroaesthetics now confirms what Scripture and experience already know: through creative engagement we heal, grow, and make meaning.
Creativity is for everyone not just professionals.
You don’t need credentials. You don’t need skill or talent. You just need curiosity, care, and the willingness to wonder.
CREATIVITY IS A FORM OF REPAIR.
When we make, we mend—pieces of ourselves and the world around us. Creativity helps us name what’s broken and begin again with care.
Your creativity isn’t just valuable.
It’s vital.
And it’s time we honored it as such.
