Art and artists have a place in the life and worship of the Christian community. Our God is a creative God who made physical matter with substance, function, and beauty. He gave man the ability to be creative, honoring Him with the objects of beauty we make. Art that reflects truths about our Lord and our faith in physical form, gives us tangible encouragement, help us focus on and trust in what we cannot see, and allows us to expand on our understanding of Biblical truth.
The Visual Arts Ministry seeks to develop a community within PBCC of folks who make and/or care about the visual arts, and through that community to bring the visual arts into the life and worship of the whole PBCC Body.

CURRENT EXHIBIT: Our Family in Liberia, 2022
Our Family in Liberia, 2022, tells the story of the participation of the Peninsula Bible Churches of Cupertino and Willow Glen in the life of two private Christian schools in Liberia. Most of the photographs were taken by Luke Salin on a recent visit to Liberia with a PBCC/WGBC team. The carvings, dolls, drawings, and Nativity Scene were made by Liberian artists and loaned by PBCC members.
Everyone is invited to a Reception on Sunday, July 17, 12:00 – 1:30 pm. Meet Luke Salin and others who have participated in team visits. Come learn about Liberia, and enjoy art, live music, refreshments, and fellowship.
