Creativity is not decoration — it is declaration.
Theology of Art and Creativity
God as Creator
Art exists because God is creative. From Genesis 1 onward, creation reveals design, order, and beauty that reflect His nature.
Creativity as Worship
When we paint, act, sing, or build sets, we echo the Creator. Our goal is not self-expression but God-expression — revealing His truth through beauty.
