How To Start a Theater Ministry at Church or in a Christian School

Just so you know my bias, I’m a firm believer in Christian Theater Ministries. There’s nothing like a live theater experience to capture the attention, the imagination, the minds, and the hearts of the audience. From minutes to hours, an audience can be transported wherever you want them to go - from their own living rooms to the foot of the cross - and every step along the way, they become part of both story and message. There’s no better way to excite and nurture God’s people than a dramatic, theatrical event. Thankfully, these events don’t have to be EVENTS! They can be as simple as flipping a light switch, or as complex as parting the Red Sea, and they usually lie somewhere in between. They are, literally, whatever you have the time, energy and resources to produce - and most of us have very little of any of those. But whatever the input, the output can make a huge impact for our savior and His people. This explores the step by step process of getting a theater ministry going at your church or Christian school. It looks at where such a ministry has its greatest impact, and the various shapes it can take - from something simple that assists a pastor delivering his message, to an elaborate full length play or musical whose aim is to evangelize a community. Wherever God is leading your creative heart, this book will get you there.
