The Moving Word

Why This Kind of Workshop?

We believe that worship is both formative and expressive; Furthermore, we believe that worship is enhanced through the creative arts and that, as we grow in our knowledge of the Word, our knowledge of the Word will move us and shape our expressions of worship. There are many creative arts used in the church to enhance the worship experience ... Dance, Music, Poerty, Drama, Artist Crafts, and more. Our workshops will use the creative arts - especailly dance, music, and artistic crafts - to enhance our understanding of the Word. ... Think of this as a kind of an interactive Bible study.
