CommunionArts exists to equip churches with training and creative resources and empowers artists to create fulfilling works that enrich their communities.  

We recognize the current tension between liturgy and contemporary worship, and we believe that the moral and spiritual value does not lie within any chosen worship medium, but within the words, message and theology communicated. While a specific medium may clearly relate to a specific congregation, our choices between organ, guitar, choir or praise team do not need to play into the value of the message presented.

We believe knowledge of God’s grace taught to us through the Holy Scriptures frees us to creatively present the gospel through our worship and liturgy. It’s our goal to help congregations think beyond high liturgy and low liturgy. We want to help people creatively think through their services, and guide them in a way that both honors their past and creatively explores the future while staying faithful to a theology of law and gospel.
