About Us
Our Vision
Redeemer Community Arts seeks to foster a living culture of creative activity through fellowship, growth, and witness among artists, the body of Christ, and the world.
Our Mission
It begins with cultivating fellowship among artists to promote community, accountability, mentorship, and service to one another. In this context, we can grow a biblically sound understanding and practice of the arts, through which the arts can “season” the life of the church. In so doing, we seek to encourage the congregation toward growth in their creative “image-bearing” in every arena of Christian life and service. This in turn fuels growth and maturity in Redeemer’s witness and outreach.
Our Church
RCA was birthed at Redeemer Church, PCA, a multi-ethnic community of Christians committed to glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming the Good News of His Kingdom both in word and deed to the Broadmoor / Broadmeadow neighborhoods, the city of Jackson, and the world. You can learn more about Redeemer church here.
