Transforming Faith through Visual Arts in a Smaller Church

Artists and church members Cheryl and Lori shared how visual arts are used in their congregation in collaborative projects as well as within worship services to create a visual liturgy. They discussed how their church has used visual elements to expand the worship services, tying their traditional and nontraditional services together, and described the surprising ways art has expanded the congregation’s relationships within the worldwide church. They shared practical guidelines for creating projects that are meaningful, inclusive, and theologically grounded.
