Arts

Experiential worship is one of the core values of Peace Portal. Therefore, it is the goal of the Worship and Arts department to plan services and events which give glory to God, and facilitate people having a meaningful encounter with Him.

Our desire is to celebrate the Lord in creative ways. It is not uncommon to find us using drama, music, visual arts, video, or humour to creatively enhance our worship experiences.

PHOTOGRAPHY Group

This group meets twice monthly - once to do a photo shoot together (usually on Saturday mornings) and once to share photos and learn new skills (usually on Tuesday evenings). Everyone is welcome whether a participant in the church community or not and all age groups, camera types and skill levels are represented and warmly welcomed.

Drama Group

There will be a kick-off meeting on March 1st at 7:30pm in Room L03.  Interested?  To put your dramatic skills to good use, please contact Tara Klassen to RSVP or for further information.

Seasonal Events

At key times of the year, Peace Portal prepares a variety of artistic events for both church and community that step outside the normal bounds of our regular meeting times. These events involve the hands and hearts of many and include our annual Christmas and Easter musicals and other special services. Such experiences not only utilize many gifts, but build the church, and reach out to the broader community. We need people with all kinds of skills and interests - handymen, writers, painters, hosts, ushers, promoters, actors, musicians - you name it, we can probably put you to work! We also host opportunities to equip people in some of their areas of interest and service, such as our conference for local worship leaders, entitled "Reflecting the Creator... Celebrating Christ Through the Arts".
