LEARN FROM OTHER CHURCHES

"And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!" (Acts 2:11, New Living Translation)

On the day of Pentecost, people from all nations stood in wonder as the apostles communicated the Gospel to them in their native language. As a creative, God has given you a similar task-to speak to worshippers in a "language" that resonates with their hopes and highest desires.

Whether through a song, dance or theatrical performance, or audio-visual technology, God speaks to people's hearts through the creative ministry, even in its imperfection. Come learn from creative arts leaders from diverse backgrounds and discover fresh insight, ideas and encouragement, as you...

Engage in a "show and tell" session - Our Creative Ideas Breakouts showcase innovative arts experiences from unique churches, including Community Christian Church, Naperville, IL, Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, IL, and Windsor Crossing, Chesterfield, MO.

Absorb training from experts - In the Skill-Based Breakouts, you can benefit from the experience of dozens of leaders from more than 30 ministries and organizations from around the world. Pick the category that fits you best (lighting, worship, drama, dance, etc.), or mix and match to meet your needs.

Get a closer look - Our Behind-the-Scenes Tech Tours take groups of five to seven through the ins and outs of specific disciplines. Choose from audio, video, post-video, lighting or live video tours.
