Through our Spirit-filled teachers, curriculum, and environment, we will equip a generation of bold and strong storytellers who partner with the Presence as they train and perform.The acronym “ARTIST” represents our core values of ABBA, RELATIONSHIP, TRANSFORM, IDENTITY, SERVE, and TESTIMONY. These shape the foundations of Bethel Conservatory of the Arts, its programs and its namesake gathering -- The ARTIST Summit.ABBA: Everything begins and ends with our Heavenly Father, the Alpha and the Omega. We’re creative because He is. We’re artists because He is the ultimate artist. It all began and begins through an intimate relationship with Him. And in the end, more than anything we create, what matters is our intimacy with the Creator, our Father. (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6)RELATIONSHIP: Just as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have been in eternal relationship, so are we, the Kingdom artist, called to be in relationship with God, ensemble and audience. We train as artists to posture ourselves to create and perform out of relationship, in fellowship with the artists we work with and those who come to share in our work. We are not set apart from them but for them.TRANSFORM: Entertainment isn’t enough. As Kingdom artists we perform to transform -- people, cities and nations. Transformation is the inevitable and natural byproduct of an encounter with Jesus. And we owe the world an encounter. (John 4:4-26, Acts 9:1-19)IDENTITY: Kingdom artists perform from identity not for it. We are who He says we are: sons and daughters, made in His image. We are carriers of His Presence, His promises written on our hearts. And out of the abundance of heart the mouth will speak, the pen will write and the body will move. (Genesis 1:27, Matthew 12:34, 2 Corinthians 3:3)SERVE: As Kingdom artists we are servants not celebrities. We are called to serve -- the audience, our fellow cast members, the story, our character, choreographer and director. Jesus came to serve not to be served, who are we to offer any less. (Matthew 20:28)TESTIMONY: The two most powerful stories you will ever tell are the gospel and your testimony. They are the only two stories that have the power to move a human soul from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. All great stories are simply an echo of His masterpiece. (1 Thessalonians 1:5, Romans 1:16, Revelation 12:11, 19:10)
