| S.T.A.R. is "Seeing The Arts Restored" To the Church |
| This is a trans-denominational ministry. Our desire is to see artistic expression restored to the proper place in the Kingdom of God. We believe praise is a powerful and effective communication for the truth and the Gospel. We believe praise is essential to the vitality of the Body of Christ for celebration and spiritual warfare. We believe Scriptural praise includes instruments, singing and dance in agreement with Psalm 149 and 150. |
| MISSION: To impact the church and the world through artistic expression, making the most of every opportunity to glorify God. PURPOSE: To restore artistic expression to its proper place in the church body and to encourage the church to support artists of all kinds. To use God-oriented art as a tool for evangelism by public use, increasing the God-awareness of those exposed to its influence. GOAL: To encourage, teach and train Christian artists with a heart for God and to give them opportunity to share their form of expression. To concurrently reinforce relevant scriptural and spiritual truths and to encourage a lifestyle of worship. To expose both local and outside communities to artistic expression as a form of worship. |
| S.T.A.R. Participates in local events and promotes the arts with concerts, church presentations, and participation in local events. We have also had opportunity to minister through worship arts in Ukraine in partnership with Family Aid International based in Grove, OK and Kiev, Ukraine. In Ukraine we have ministered in churches in Kiev, Kherson, Odessa, Nikolayev, and Chernigiv in churches associated with the Embassy of God church in Kiev. We also have ministered likewise in the streets of Mexico City and surrounding cities in partnership with Global Missions Training Institute, Summerville, SC. We are currently planning more outreaches to Ukraine. |
