Creative Arts Ministry
Creatively Express Your Faith
Hope’s Creative Arts Ministry offers Christ-centered art experiences to express your faith and engage hearts and minds. Activities for all ages and ability levels encourage creative expression to glorify God, strengthen faith in Christ Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit.
Creative Art Classes
Check the calendar for creative arts classes in areas such as dance, poetry, watercolor, cartooning, acrylic painting, oil painting, plein air painting, charcoal, pastels, jewelry-making and more!
Live Art
Artists paint live to enhance the worship experience at Christmas and Easter and other special services. Scriptures featured in the service are the inspiration for glorifying God during worship. Artists with the desire to paint live are encouraged to let us know their interest.
Upcoming Classes & Events
Gallery Walls
Artwork from Hopesters is displayed throughout the building. Gallery walls around the atrium are adorned with new artwork every 8 to 12 weeks along with an artist’s statement of how the work strengthens their faith and glorifies God. Artists with a heart for Jesus are encouraged to offer a body of work for display. Volunteers are also needed to help hang the artwork.
Organizing and Planning
The Creative Arts Ministry supports many of Hope’s ministries by providing art projects, make-and-take art, craft projects, displays and set design for worship and events. If you’d like to help with brainstorming and executing these creative projects, we’d love to have your help!
