Let Your Talent Serve Something Greater Than Applause

Join a community of like-minded performers bringing stories of faith to life

Stop choosing between faith and art.

Many performers long for a place to pursue theater without compromising their faith. You long to improve your skills, but just feel like you’re:

  • Out of place in secular theater environments

  • Not really using your talents to serve God like you want to

  • Filling your mind with lines and songs that aren’t uplifting

  • Never going to find other like-minded Christian performers

Theater can be dark.

You love performing, but walking into rehearsals can feel heavy. You’re tired of wondering if today will be the day that you:

  • Are asked to do something you’re not comfortable with

  • Have to compromise what you believe to fit in

  • Need to speak up and stand against the crowd

  • Find out your character does something you think is inappropriate

You aren’t alone.

Grow Your Craft. Glorify God.

As a performing arts ministry, we create a Christ-centered community where you can grow your craft for God’s glory, so every performance becomes an act of worship and you can:

Grow as a performer and believer

Serve God through what you love

Find joy in your craft again

Be part of shows that point people to Christ

1. Try Out At Auditions

Sign up for auditions and join a Christ-centered community of performers called to serve through theater.

2. Take the Stage

Rehearse, grow, and learn alongside fellow performers as you develop your craft with purpose and excellence.

3. Tell His Story

Share stories of faith through performance that leave eternal impact and point audiences to the Creator.

Your gifts have purpose.

It’s time to use them.
