THE NEW

WorDramArts

Ministry


Building on SFCC's long history of the creative arts

WorDramArts is a NEXT generation ministry focused on:


InReach

Engaging with SFCC Members allowing them to use ALL of their God given artistic and

creative gifts and talents to build-up and edify the SFCC body of believers and beyond!



OutReach

Exploration, Discovery and Development of creative and artistic expressions to share the

Gospel of Jesus Christ to young and old alike. Deliver the Gospel through all available methods, media and platforms using original, engaging and thought provoking messaging.


UpReach

The Apostle Paul provides an excellent example of UpReach when he proclaims:

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13–14, ESV). 

A key focus of WorDramArts is to worship and glorify God through our collective

artistic and creative gifts, talents and spiritual calling.

What is it?

The New WorDramArts is  a re-launch and rebirth of SFCC's long history for delivering the Gospel of Jesus Christ through artistic expression. 


Nearly 50 years ago SFCC presented its first ever Singing Cross - ushering in a powerful  method to reach the world through drama.


The New WorDramArts will begin a new era of creating and presenting artistic, innovative and creative content for SFCC.

HOW DO WE WORK TOGETHER?

WorDramArts participants

work together using the concept of

collaborative ideation, development and creation.

What does that mean?


New dramatic/artistic ideas and projects are presented by WorDramArts participants and agile creative teams are formed to collectively explore and develop the final creative content or presentation.

What if I only want to work behind the scenes?

There's a place for you too! 

We have roles like Team Coordinator, Stage and Production Support, Project Manager and many more behind the scene roles you can take on!

Where do you fit in?

Feel free to get in where you fit in!!

You decide the ideas and projects you’d like to create or participate in as a member of the creative team and what role you’d like to take.

Since all activity related to the development of each idea/project is managed and coordinated online through Zoom and other online tools...

you are free to jump in when and where

you feel you can most contribute and assist!
