We love what we do
Creative Beings
We believe that creativity builds meaningful connections between people.
We fill our church’s plate-glass windows with rotating art installations, reflecting the seasons and prayers of our faith community.
We invite you to explore this page to learn more about our windows.
We are creative beings, made in the image of God, our Creator. Together, we can create a more vibrant, connected, and hopeful world, beginning right here in Norfolk.
“Live creatively, Friends! Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.” Galatians 6 (The Message)
