You’ve heard it said, “You are made in the image of a creative God, and thus you are creative.” But what does this really mean? Who is this creative God and what does His creativity look like? What does this mean for us and our art?  In this workshop, we’ll discuss what it means to be an image bearer and the unique ways our creativity very specifically reflects the God who made us.

Welcome to a watercolor session where perfection takes a back seat and creativity gets to breathe. In this beginner-friendly course, we’ll learn how to actually work with water instead of fighting it like a tiny, unpredictable toddler. Together, we’ll explore the magic (and occasional chaos) of watercolor—how pigments move, how to control them (sometimes), and how to turn “mistakes” into moments you totally meant to do.

We’ll cover the essentials—brushes, paper, washes, layering, and blending—without getting overly specific about any of it. We’ll practice techniques, experiment freely, and create a painting (or paintings for you overachievers) that range from “Hey, not bad!” to “Wait… I made that?!”

Whether you’ve never picked up a brush or you’re just looking to try something new, you’re welcome here. Just bring your curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and a sense of humor. By the end, you’ll not only understand watercolor—you might even start to trust it. (No promises.)

We are the narrators of our lives, and we all have stories to tell, but how do we tell them in a way that is both honoring and honest? In this session, we will explore the art of writing memoir/creative nonfiction. Along the way, we will discuss imposter syndrome, the limits of memory, curating vs creating, and the goodness your story can bring to the world.

You don’t have to be a poet to write a poem, you just have to pay attention. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll take a slow walk around Hume Lake, practice the art of noticing the ordinary and the sacred, and then put words to what we find. We’ll close by sharing some of what we wrote. No experience necessary. Just open eyes and a willingness to see. May we get a glimpse of what it means to walk the pace of grace.

Presented by Katy Reed

In this collaborative workshop, we’ll explore how the Lord creatively weaves together both our blessings and our hardships to accomplish His purposes and how we can have gratitude in every season. Drawing from the life of Job and sharing from our own lives, we’ll discuss how God creatively uses every part of our story to refine, strengthen, and transform us. This will be a workshop to share, listen, and treasure-hunt together the goodness of our Sovereign Artist’s hand in our lives.

This workshop will introduce the traditional process of letterpress printing, from design and setup to the creation of finished paper goods. We will explore the history of written correspondence and discuss its relevance in a world where communication is often immediate, digital, and easily forgotten.

Through conversation and demonstration, we will consider how intentional words and thoughtfully crafted paper goods can become meaningful expressions of care, encouragement, and connection. There is an enduring value in creating something beautiful and sending it into the world with purpose, and we will put this into practice together.

We live in an age that rewards the fast, the frequent, and the formulaic. But what if the writing life was always meant to be something more like worship than productivity? In this session, Cara Ray introduces the ancient concept of holy leisure (otium sanctum) and invites writers to consider how deep, attentive enjoyment of God can transform not just our devotional lives but also our creative ones. Drawing on the transcendentals of truth, goodness, and beauty, we’ll explore what it means to write as image-bearers of a God who brought order from chaos. And no matter our subject matter, our words can be an offering of holy leisure to the Lord.

Presented by Jeff Sanford

The beloved theologian, pastor, and birder, John Stott, coined the term OrniTHEOLOGY. The act of worshiping God through the study and enjoyment of the avian world around us. In this session, we will be Ornitheologians and talk about what we can learn, both about God and our relationship to Him, through enjoying and observing birds. We will go on a fun walk, talk about these great things, and see what birds the Lord allows us to see.

Presented by Jeb Sanford

In this session we will all carve a bird! It will be fun and I will talk through the step by step process of carving any type of duck or song bird you want. It will be great for beginners or expert carvers alike. All supplies will be provided.

Our God-given emotions might perplex us! We might be inclined to overemphasize our emotions or we might fear and suppress them. How should we think about them, and how does the bible help us do that? The goal of this session is to marvel at God’s goodness in connecting our head and heart so we might live and create for his glory.

Presented by Marian Jacobs

Description: Why does a genre as trivial and fringe as fantasy matter to the Church and the Christian life? Why should you care about fantasy and magic? The fantasy genre is so much more than just one genre among many. It’s the creative expression of seeing the unseen and an attempt to understand the vast otherness of God. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the biblical foundation of imagination, creativity, and fantasy literature.

Presented by Pete Peterson

Join us for an in-the-round reading of A. S. Peterson’s adaptation of Frankenstein. No experience necessary. No participation necessary. We’ll pass out scripts and head off into an adventurous 90-minutes of monsters, murder, and surprising emotional and theological depth.

Presented by Titania Paige

Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, but what happens when time doesn’t heal? When spiritual wounds from past trauma linger, even after we’ve “moved on”? Or when physical recovery doesn’t feel like strength, but more suffering? In this interactive workshop, songwriter, Bible teacher, and community-builder Titania Paige shares her journey of healing from trauma and explores how God restores wounded hearts through Christ, creativity, and community.

Through biblical teaching, personal stories, guided journaling, and live music, participants will:

• Practice honest connection with Christ in both suffering and healing.
• Discover how creative expression can help process pain and cultivate hope.
• Explore the role of a healthy, Christ-centered community in restoration.
• Reflect on their own stories through guided journaling.

Featuring original songs written during Titania’s healing journey, this workshop offers a gentle space to encounter God’s presence, process your story, and take practical steps toward wholeness.

Whether you’re seeking healing yourself or hoping to better support others, you’ll leave encouraged, equipped, and inspired to create from a place of hope.

Presented by Titania Paige

What if creating a faith and arts community was simpler than you think?

When Titania Paige opened her home for a small gathering of artists, storytellers, and musicians, she wasn’t trying to start a movement. She was simply making room for people to create, connect, and encourage one another. Today, that gathering has grown into a thriving community rooted in faith, creativity, and friendship.

In this interactive workshop, participants will experience a mini faith-and-arts gathering firsthand before exploring practical ways to cultivate a creative community where they already are.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How to start with what you already have.
• Overcoming common fears and obstacles.
• Creating a healthy, Christ-centered culture.
• Cultivating biblical unity amid division.
• Finding joy in creating and sharing without pressure, perfectionism, or performance.

Whether you hope to gather artists in your home, church, or local community, you’ll leave encouraged, equipped, and empowered to take the first step.

You may discover that the community you’re hoping for is closer than you think.

Do you ever feel stuck trying to get your singing to reflect the story you’re trying to tell? What if the sound you’re searching for is found less in perfection and performance—and more in surrender and authenticity?
Every voice is uniquely designed, and every song is an opportunity to communicate truth with freedom and authenticity. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore five key principles for healthy, expressive singing: Struggle, Awareness, Action, Surrender, and Artistry. You’ll gain practical tools to improve vocal function while learning to better understand and steward the instrument God has entrusted to you.
Then we’ll put those principles into practice. Bring a song you’re currently learning or preparing, and we’ll work through it together in a supportive masterclass setting. Through live coaching, constructive feedback, and learning alongside others, you’ll discover how healthy technique, authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and vocal freedom can transform not only the way you sing, but the message you communicate.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced vocalist, you’ll leave with practical exercises, fresh insight, and renewed confidence to grow both as a singer and as a worshiper.
