Published on: Aug 2, 2011Updated on: Aug 8, 2020

Nancy Beach, programming director for Willow Creek Community Church for over 20 years, talks about the role of the arts in worship:

“We come to church to learn about truth, but also to be inspired, to be lifted, and to be moved. And the arts move us! Our goal should be to prepare artistic elements that have the potential to become transcendent moments – moments which the Holy Spirit has unmistakably anointed and which can lead to life transformation.”
