we engage our creative instincts
Our mission in the Fine Arts Ministry is to make and mature followers of Jesus Christ through participation in fine arts.
The Bible begins with, “In the beginning, God created…”
Those who participate in our Fine Arts Ministry feel most “in tune” with God when we engage our creative instincts to enhance worship services, minister to our community, and provide meaningful artistic experiences for all members of our congregation.
Hymnals
New Hymnals Fundraiser
The typical cycle for a hymnal in a church is approximately 25 years. We are getting new hymnals for the sanctuary soon, and we’d love for you to be part of the experience. Hymnals may be purchased in honor of someone special, and that dedication will be included in the book plate of a hymnal.
We will need 625 hymnals (which can be purchased for $25 each) and 258 large print hymnals (which can be purchased at $35 each).
UPDATE: We are excited to announce that as of January 13 we have reached 55% of our goal! Help us reach the finish line by ordering a hymnal today!
