THE ARTS CAN HEAL, SERVE, AND INSPIRE.
You don’t need a degree. Just five hours a week on your own time.
Welcome to the Foundations Art Ministry course, created by Jessie Nilo.
YOU WERE BORN HIGHLY CREATIVE.
Everyone around you was born creative, too.
Yet most people believe they’re not creative by the time they’re adults.
Listen to God, not to small-minded people. Since God enjoys art, creativity is important. Let’s get creating.

LESSONS IN ART AND MINISTRY
Maybe you’ve felt that tension — loving art, loving God, and loving people, but unsure how they fit together.
Foundations is the course that bridges that gap.
It’s not just about technique or theology. It’s about transformation — spiritual, emotional, and creative. Our graduates describe Foundations as “life-changing,” “transformative,” and “being seen for the first time.”
- Experience the role of Beauty and Transcendence through the unique way God created the arts.
- See limitless possibilities in art ministry centered on encouragement, creativity, and flexibility, rather than rigid formulas.
- Enter a world where art can minister through a variety of mediums, styles, and approaches, whether formal or informal, structured or spontaneous.
- Learn the practical art of ministering with Christ, who is always Inclusive with Excellence and rooted in love.
- Get unstuck in your own creativity to become the artist God says you are.
Graduates of Foundations Art Ministry Course receive a Completion Certificate and become eligible for a Ministry Endorsement from God Loves Art.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
If you’re nervous or excited, this course is for you.
Our Foundations students process the weekly lessons together, with each person creating their own study time according to their schedule.
We experience hope, healing, encouragement, artistic growth, and spiritual breakthroughs on a regular basis. See our student reviews.
Don’t wait! God has amazing things in store for us, together.
The principles we use in the Foundations Art Ministry course are rooted in Christ’s radical inclusiveness, love, discipleship, and creativity. He created all things (John 1:1) and is himself the origin of all beauty and love.
