Mission Statement
We aim to service the church in all areas: worship, faith, community and social action. This we do under the guidance of the Holy Spirit who leads us to transformation and healing. Our mission is to be welcome to all where we celebrate and allow space for the exploration of artistic desire. In all that we do we both affirm our diversity, and endeavour to provide a sensitive and safe environment.
Proposals
We welcome ideas and proposals that invite and encourage creativity within and beyond our congregation. If you have an idea or proposal please read and start filling in the proposal document to help us support and shape your project.
This wonderful collection documents the artful projects from 2016 through to the beginning of 2017 so seamlessly integrated into our worship and community life.
The Olive Arts Collective is a grass roots initiative and a collaborative group comprised of people who love to create visual art in all its forms.
