The dramatic
arts ministry at The Rock exists to glorify God and to educate his church
through the venue of visual creativity. Just as Jesus utilized parables
and metaphors to illustrate his points, we believe the visual arts can
complement the service themes, providing practical, relevant dramas
that challenge and inspire. It is the goal of The Rock's Dramatic Arts
Ministry to help restore the arts to their rightful kingdom.
