Christian Arts Ministry Highlights

Working at Masterwork Productions, I am blessed to come in contact with many Christians and organizations using the arts to reach out with the love of Christ.

Some of them are linked on this site (if you scroll down at right, you'll see the "Christian Arts Links" section where you can link directly to the sites). I thought I would use this post to introduce you to them. All of them can be great assets to you in your worship arts or drama ministry.
