FINE ARTS
DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THEIR MINISTRY GIFTS.
Fine Arts is a year-round ministry aimed to help teens discover, develop, and deploy their gifts and talents to reach people for Christ and inspire their faith. With over 70 categories, there’s something for every student, from the digitally-inclined to the dancer, the painter, the poet, and aspiring preacher. Once a year there is a district Fine Arts Festival to showcase and evaluate their pieces.
From Districts to Nationals:
Those receiving a district rating of “Superior with Invitation” in their category are invited to compete on a national level at the National Fine Arts Festival, which coincides with the National Youth Conference.
Through Fine Arts, students learn that ministry is a lifestyle, not just an “activity” to be attended.
The Fine Arts season begins each September.
Cost:
- Registration: $45/person (includes the first category the student is in)
- Extra Categories: $20/person/category
- (example: student is in 3 categories. The first is included in the $45 registration fee. The 2 additional categories will cost $20 each totaling $40. The total cost for Fine Arts participation would be $95)
- The Cost for attending the Regional Fine Arts Festival in April 2026: TBD
Schedule:
- Practices: Sundays 12-5pm, every other week for students in group categories
- Regional Fine Arts Festival: April 2026 (specific dates TBD). Location: Christ Chapel, 13909 Smoketown Rd, Woodbridge, VA 22192
