“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men;
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance.
It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.” 
Colossians 3:23-24 (NASB)

Creative Ministry Purpose

The purpose of creative ministries is to minister to people of all ages through interpretive movement, puppetry, drama, music, humor, and personal testimony.  This ministry team will serve as a witness of Jesus Christ, with each person using his/her God given talents and abilities.

Creative Ministry Responsibilities

1. Any student (6^th – 12^th grade) or Senior Adult (ages 50 and older) are welcome to participate in the Creative Ministry Program of Ascension Baptist Church.
    

2. Everyone (students, senior adults, or leaders) is expected to arrive promptly to all practices or rehearsals.  No one is allowed to leave during practice without permission.  Anyone who becomes a major distraction will be asked to leave.
    

3. The realization must be made by everyone that participation in Creative Ministries requires a high level of commitment.  Therefore, every practice is important because the primary purpose of practice/rehearsal is to learn new material and improve our skills.
    

4. Everyone is expected to notify or contact the Associate Pastor or one of the Creative Ministry Leaders at least 24 hours before a rehearsal/practice, or an opportunity to lead in worship if I will be unable to attend for any reason. If one of the four people has not been contacted, the participant may lose his/her opportunity to participate in the upcoming worship service.
    

5. Everyone is expected to carry out their assigned duties at rehearsal/practice, and at opportunities to lead in worship promptly and cheerfully.
    

6. Everyone is expected not to bring electronic games, chewing gum, or any other distractions into rehearsal/practice times, or an opportunity to lead in worship.
    

7. Everyone is expected to attend the evening worship service.
    

8. Everyone must realize that their witness to other people is influenced by their appearance and dress.  Therefore, everyone is expected to follow the ABC Student Ministry Dress Code. 
    

9. Everyone is requested to provide a pair of navy, khaki, and black pants (slacks), and the church will provide the shirts and other materials needed to participate in this ministry.
    

10. Everyone is expected to have fun.
