Discover your artistic talent and serve God with it!

From Art Classes to Art DTS
You can attend short-term workshops, or go deeper in one of our arts schools: The Performing Arts DTS (discipleship training school) teaches foundations of Christian faith and living it out in a dynamic way, while having a focus on the arts.
What does an Art DTS look like?
Part 1: Lecture Phase
During lecture phase, students read through the whole Bible, discover their identity in Christ, think about their purpose and calling, and more. At the Art DTS, they also train in the arts and use art to express what God is showing them. Topics include:
-
The character and nature of God
-
Interpersonal relationships
-
Missions and evangelism
-
Hearing God’s voice
-
Sin and repentance
-
Gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit
-
Prayer, intercession and worship
-
Spiritual warfare and dealing with occult
-
Understanding other religions and cultures
Part 2: Outreach Phase
During the 12 weeks of outreach, DTS students practice what they learned in church and community ministries: preaching, praying for people, cleaning up the streets, serving food… as an Art-DTS, students will also be using music, dance or other arts to reach out to their community.
