About Our Instructors
Our video-based instruction is taught by seasoned art ministers. Each faculty member was hand-picked by Jessie Nilo to teach on a topic that has radically changed Jessie’s life and expanded her own view about what art ministry can be.
Our instructors are all about coupling inclusiveness with excellence, education with grace, persistence with patience. They partner with the Lord in their daily practices, whether creating, teaching, resting, or serving… and they see it all as ministry.
