First of all, we believe that God is the greatest of all artists.  We see his artistic hand in his unique and beautiful creation, we see it in the carefully crafted poetry, song and narrative stories contained in His written Word and we see it in the way that he distinctively fashioned his Church to be a compelling fusion of various gifts and talents.  And because we believe that God is an artistic and creative God, we also believe that he desires to use art and creativity for His glory and has purposefully given creative abilities to us so that we may employ them for this purpose. 

Secondly, we believe that creativity connects with people.  Throughout history, Christian and secular, art has always reached into and connected with the human heart in a way that words alone could not.  Our dance director, Amanda Pumariega once said, in response to the question "Why dance?";  "When I don't have words... I dance."  And I could not put it better.  Artists have always used their paintings, photographs, songs, dances, poems, plays, etc... to express what was otherwise inexpressible.  To reveal the truth behind truth.  And so, we believe that art has the capacity to communicate truth and meaning to the human heart in a particularly compelling way.

Therefore, we, as a Creative Arts Team, offer our gifts and talents, in worship, to our immensely creative God so that He may use them as vehicles for His Spirit to communicate and connect to the hearts of people.
