Getting Artcore

Posted by Mathew Braun on Feb 8, 2012 in Arts & Culture | 0 comments

Art, whether it be visual, musical, literary, or theatrical, has always been one of the most powerful tools for communication. It has the power to bring either destruction and death, or hope and life. The world is filled with artists who choose to use their art for the glorification of man, but Christians are called to use it to glorify God and to bring His Kingdom to earth. That’s exactly why we’re starting up a ministry group that will do just that; it will focus on serving our community through artistic inspiration. Whether that “community” is just down the road in Ft. Langley, or over on East Hastings Street in Vancouver, it will be a service team dedicated to bringing truth through the arts.

This team of students will learn how to use their artistic skills and creativity to heal, restore, and bring hope not only to individuals, but also to entire communities. They will work alongside other ministry teams, such as Youth Extreme, Langley Lodge, etc., as well as branch out to accomplish their own art projects throughout the area. The team is looking for students who love Christ and who are anxious to use their artistic skills for God’s glory.

So, if you’re an artist—painter, designer, musician, actor, poet, you name it—and are interested in learning more about the vision of this group, please contact Jodi Bagge at jodi.bagge@mytwu.ca and we’ll keep you in the loop for next fall!
