Arts Ministry
About The Arts
The arts are inextricably intertwined with our culture and spiritually connect us with God our creator.The average person encounters performance, music, design, image and the media arts on a daily basis. God designed the arts to hurdle our barriers, slip past our intellect, and penetrate our hearts and souls. Therefore, embracing beauty and creativity enables us to more fully understand His personality and enjoy His presence.
Many years ago, churches were often centers to experience beauty, creativity and transcendence but overtime seemed to abdicate that role. Now, many churches are embracing creative arts and there is a growing desire to develop creative arts ministry programs.Becoming more fluent and versed in the use of the arts to communicate truths about God more effectively is a worthy goal that Kojjo believes in.
Through workshops, training and conferences, Kojjo offers guidance and practical biblical ways to help churches and organizations ministries establish arts ministries to engage the youth and impact communities through outreach programs.
Activities
Activities include creating performance pieces for services (e.g., drama, dance, pageantry, spoken word, etc.), creating live visual art for services (e.g., live painting during worship), creating gallery spaces for enjoyment and meditation, creating art that is positioned permanently or seasonally behind the altar or around the sanctuary, creating interactive art, sensory, or “sacred space” experiences for the congregation, using the arts in community outreach (e.g., taking the arts to nursing homes, shelters, schools, etc.), employing the arts as learning tools for youth, using the arts in counseling and therapy, using the arts spontaneously as a mean of conveying “prophetic” messages, offering arts classes and workshops, and much more.
There are many gifted and talented artists in their congregations and one of the best ways to develop a thriving arts ministry is to first build a strong arts community and fellowship of artists.
