Art With A Purpose
The name of our Visual Arts Community, "imago Dei", is latin for "image of God".
OUR MISSION: To develop fully devoted followers of Christ, utilizing the gifts God has given us through the visual arts; to encourage and inspire one another within the church, throughout the city of Colorado Springs, and beyond.
OUR GOAL: To develop opportunities to incorporate the work of visual artists into the life of the church through art exhibits, worship services, etc.; to train and develop visual artists spiritually and artistically through small group community and special events.
OUR VISION: To establish a community where visual artists can grow in their walk with God, encourage each other in their artistic development and spiritual journey, feel safe in an environment of acceptance, learn to serve others and positively influence the world's view of Christian art.
