Please stay for our weekly one-hour prayer gathering on Thursday night. After a full day of strategizing and planning, we will consecrate ourselves and our dreams before the Lord and enjoy his presence. Our altars will be open, and our team will be ready to pray with you and for you.
What is a Salon? Simply put, it is an artist showcase. This vision is borne from the historical art exhibitions of the late 17th century Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. These gatherings were made up of people who came together to share art and discuss literature, philosophies, and other topics of their day. Our Salons are nights where artists can have the opportunity to share work around particular themes and highlight their ideology, philosophy, and theology around redemptive creativity. This is a beautiful night of expression and celebration as artists and appreciators of art come together to be encouraged and inspired by the power of art.
FAQ
-
Anyone who is passionate about living on the redemptive edge at the intersection of gospel and culture. While our primary audience will be pastors and ministry leaders who desire to cultivate creative and entrepreneurial communities, we will also be joined by artists, founders, and cultural leaders who long to see a revival in the church and renaissance in culture.
-
Absolutely. We will have workshops for your entire team- worship leaders, facilities and operations, missions, discipleship. You can divide and conquer throughout the afternoon and share learnings with one another later. For those who are coming by yourselves, we will also have plenty of opportunities for you to connect with like-minded and like-hearted people. One of our hopes is that everyone walks away with the feeling, “I am not alone.”
