Definition and Philosophy of Biblical Arts Studies
Biblical Arts Studies can be defined as the exploration, investigation and analyses of the different manifestations of the creative arts found in the Bible. Through classes, workshops, lectures, seminars and creative arts projects we will explore the methodology, techniques and its releveance in contemporary society.
The curriculum is geared for creative individuals and people that love the arts who desire to have a Biblical foundation, understanding, and purpose for the arts. These workshops and seminars are for individuals who want to develop their artistic vision, purpose, talent, and skills as a creative instrument of worship, inspiration, healing and transformation.
Biblical Arts Studies' dream and vision is to empower people to become an artistic and innovative influence in their communities and art world. The mission is to transform lives with the redemptive message of Jesus Christ through the creative arts as an instrument of worship, inspiration, healing and transformation.
Content Source for Biblical Arts Studies
The content for this curriculum is derived from the Bible and Biblical arts’ studies. Biblical arts are the body of knowledge that includes the arts in the Bible, its purpose, manifestation, analyses and application to our contemporary world. Topics within this body of knowledge include the Bible as literature, the purpose of art, the artist’s calling and gifts, music, dance and poetry among others.

We believe that the power of compelling art manifestations is founded in the Holy Bible. The Bible is the primary source of inspiration and creativity in the creative arts. It is an unshakable cornerstone of the arts' spiritual and philosophical foundation.
It is important to nurture an authentic creative spirit that emerges from core Biblical truths in combination with strong artistic training, in order to develop creative innovations that will glorify our Lord Jesus Christ and transform individuals.
