God’s Glory Through Your Work

Many artists want to explore the intersection of art and faith, but struggle to find safe spaces to do so. Arts Fellowship Orlando exists to celebrate, engage, and grow Christ-centered artists to expand their role in God’s greater story of redemption and restoration.

We believe artists all disciplines should have the opportunity to grow creatively and spiritually in a Christ-centered community.

Arts Fellowship Orlando is a unique opportunity for mature Christian creatives in the greater Orlando area to engage in a six-month exploration of the intersection of art and faith. During the program, you will grow in community with artists of various disciplines, and gain clarity on your role as an artist in God’s Kingdom. In addition, you will be given the resources to cultivate new original works with multiple opportunities to present them. You will create within a supportive community while enriching your theology of making and Christian spiritual formation.
