Course Description

The Bible is more than just an explanation for the “way things are.” It is a story about the truth, beauty, and goodness we are each invited to live into. This Arts and the Story of God course will recast the traditional narrative of Creation, Fall, and Redemption as one of Wonder, Heartbreak, and Hope, and invite you to participate in that story as a creator, made in the image of the Creator God. You need not be a professional artist to engage with this content—just bring a responsive posture and a desire to know God through the act of making.

We estimate that this will take you 7.5 hours to complete (but not all in one sitting!).
