OUR MISSION STATEMENT:	In the beginning God created. Genesis 1:1  God is creator, God still creates today.  He calls us to be creative.  In Psalm 9:1 "I will praise you with all of my heart; I will tell of Your wonders".  The heart is the center of the human spirit from which springs emotions, thoughts, motivations, courage and action.  Our desire is to praise Him from the center of our spirit.
OUR VISION:	Our vision is to become a network of Christian artists and our desire is to  bring the arts back into the church.  Our heart is to touch those broken in body, mind and spirit.  Our aim is to use the arts as a vehicle for evangelism and worship and a source of encouragement and healing for Christian artists.
