Throughout history the Church has been the epicenter for artistic creation and expression. Just take a stroll through the streets of Europe and look at the massive church buildings in every town center. They are ornately arrayed with that splendid old-world charm. It would be difficult to copy the construction work of those old masters today. Sadly, we have drifted far from the creative splendors of our Christian heritage. Western society is centered mostly around a sports culture. A close examination of scri pture, however, reveals that the Word of God is rich in an arts culture. Look no further than the magnificent temple that Solomon built and take note of the many artists that were employed in the temple service.
What ministry opportunities does the Church provide for those who are not drawn to sports? Perhaps he or she is a writer, painter, architect, jeweler, poet, actor, dancer, garment maker, songwriter or minstrel. Our God Himself is a creator and is still looking for someone to demonstrate His creative nature. The apostolic reformation is restoring many things back to the Church including creative expression through the arts.
At Spirit of Life Ministrires church we are making great strides toward this restoration. Ministries such as Genuine Praise are helping restore the tabernacle of David through dance. This apostolic team releases the creative nature of our Lord Jesus Christ in others, and is just one of the many facets of creative arts ministry you will find at the church.
