Art, storytelling, and you, oh my!

Arts and storytelling in worship connect faith to the human heart in powerful, lasting ways. Through music, visual art, drama, and narrative, worship becomes more than spoken words—it becomes an experience that invites participation, imagination, and memory. Stories help pass faith from one generation to the next, making timeless truths accessible to children, meaningful to adults, and reflective for elders. Art crosses cultural and age barriers, allowing people to encounter God emotionally as well as intellectually. When worship engages creativity and story, it honors how people learn, remember, and believe, strengthening community and faith across all generations.
