Canaan Baptist Church
SACRED PERFORMING ARTS MINISTRY
The Sacred Performing Arts Ministry was organized on January 16, 1997. The purpose of the Ministry is to bring together creative talents within the church to:
- learn the Bible
- see the whole picture through Christian drama
- share their creative interpretation
- find out who they are through Christian expression
THEME:
Using one’s gift for other’s good. “As Every man hath received the gift, even so
Minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God”.
STATEMENT OF MISSION
The mission is two-fold, first to use creative talents as a medium to bring others to Christ and secondly that of a church-centered Christian ministry using the Bible as a foundation for its “Drama of the Ages”. This ministry will provide opportunities to meet the individual needs of those having talents in the areas of drama, art, poetry, music and dance and be sensitive to these needs. The ministry also helps participants to discover their values and enhance their life through creative talents by commitment to Christian values. It will stress the need to concentrate on doing a great deal more on “being”. By expression the spiritual “being” within themselves and uniting with others in fellowship, Christ’s presence will emerge.
“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands”. 11 Timothy 1:6
