About Us

Arts Ministry

Grace Fellowship Arts provide an opportunity for ministry in many areas of the arts. Since our conception in 2001, we have continued to change and grow as we have sought God's face for vision and direction. We offer training in the areas of mime, dance & flags, hip hop, and puppets to attendees of Grace Fellowship Church.

Our Arts ministry is willing to minister at other churches subject to availability. For more information or to book the Grace Arts ministry, please contact Janine Myers.

Mime

Silent Witness Mime Troupe
Instructor: Janine Myers

Silent Witness Mime troupe usually meets on a Saturday morning in Hernhut, however, we are currently done for this year and will begin again in the fall. For information on our summer mime workshop - see the home page. This ministry is open to anyone attending Grace Fellowship Church regularly, aged 13 through adult. All new students are required to buy a copy of Mastery of Mimeodramme 1 video and workbook, available through the church, or from www.mimeistry.com store. If you are interested in joining, please contact Janine Myers.

We combine with the other Arts ministries to create presentations for Grace Fellowship special events and outreaches.

 

Storyteller

Storyteller is a 17 minute mime presentation telling the story of Christ as an allegory. It is bright and captivating, and draws the audience into the lives of the characters of fear; anxiety; anger; weakness and greed, and introduces them to the 'Storyteller'. As the mime progresses they look to Him to see if he can do more than just tell stories, can he really heal them? He ultimately takes on each affliction, healing the characters and dieing as consequence. Having taken the audience on an emotional journey through the pain and doubt of each of the characters, His ultimate resurrection brings the piece to an exciting conclusion, demonstrating the saving grace of our Lord Jesus.

Storyteller is choreographed by Todd Farley of Mimeistry International, and training and performance rights for this choreography can be purchased from www.mimeistry.com. This is a perfect piece for an Outreach, but is also enjoyable and encouraging for the body of Christ.
