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, helps 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.

CALL FOR ART: Call for Art: The Good News, An Exhibit for the 2024 Advent & Christmas Season
“The angel said, ‘I bring you Good News…Today a savior has been born; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’” Luke 2:10-11
Advent season prepares us to celebrate the birth of the Savior for all mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Good News, or Gospel, says that Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection made salvation and freedom from sin and its condemnation available to everyone who believes in Him. The entire Bible proclaims this message, answering the questions, “What is the Gospel?” and “How does it affect people’s lives?” For this year’s Advent/Christmas Exhibit, PBCC adults and children are invited to create and submit art that addresses these questions.
A Call for Art, containing details about this exhibit and a detailed discussion of the theme, can be read or downloaded here. The Artist Agreement can be printed and mailed to Marilyn (address in the Call) or completed and submitted online here (coming soon)
