This is what happens when artists create with God.

Creativity is human. It brings hope, healing, and human flourishing. From prisons to churches to neighborhoods, God Loves Art equips people to see their inherent value, discover their voice, and make a positive difference in local communities.

We build differently.

  • Relationship, not using people
  • Authenticity, not appearance
  • Wholeness, not perfection

God Loves Art focuses on three core areas:

  • 01

    Art Ministry Training

    We trained and formed artists to lead with emotional health, spiritual depth, and creative integrity.
  • 02

    Creative Community

    We created consistent spaces for artists to be known, encouraged, and strengthened.
  • 03

    Prison-Based Art Programs

    We brought weekly art practice into a high-need, high-risk environment-where creativity became an alternative to harm.

We supported 70+ Art Ministers, certified 12 new graduates, and taught 171 prison art students.

“One of the biggest surprises has been a shift in my focus from using artistic tools to minister to everyone, to ministering to artists intentionally. God has shown me how much of an artistic community I have already built up… and God has already begun to open doors to work with them.”
