Thriving Arts

In 2013, God is doing some new things. We have spent the last year preparing our hearts for the changes that God will bring about through us, the artists.



We will be talking more about the foundation God has called us to lay down in the coming months, but I do not want to get ahead of what God has called me to do. A responsible habit for every follower of Jesus to have is a heart of Thanksgiving. This is brings glory to God in 2 primary ways. First, He sees that we have not forgotten His blessings and He wants to bless us more for that. Second, our own hearts become fertile soil to receive more blessings that God wants us to receive.

Looking in the rear view mirror of 2013 I wanted to point out the numerous blessings Visual Sanctuary and its artists have received:


  1. Creative Church Conference at the Indianapolis Vineyard
  2. Art Room for our meetings and art classes
  3. Face To Face/Holy Spirit Empowerment Night art creation during worship
  4. Weekly opportunities to meet new artists
  5. Weekly opportunities to meet with artists
  6. Vineyard Community Center as a resource for artists in church and community
  7. Art contacts in Vineyard
  8. Small Groups ministry as a resource for Visual Sanctuary
