Our Statement of Faith

We, the members of Sowing Seeds affirm our shared belief in the following truths, which form the foundation of our work as artists and believers in Jesus Christ. Sowing Seeds seeks to glorify God through our creativity, performances, and fellowship, and we commit ourselves to living out these truths in our art and in our relationships with others.

​

1. The Authority of Scripture
   We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, given to us for instruction, guidance, and correction. It reveals God’s will and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. As such, we hold the Bible as the ultimate authority in our lives, both on and off the stage, guiding our decisions and shaping our perspectives.

2. The Nature of God
   We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator of the universe and all that is in it, and He is sovereign, loving, just, and merciful. We recognize God’s ultimate authority and power, and we honor His creation in all that we do, including in our theatrical expression.

3. The Deity of Jesus Christ
   We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, who was sent to Earth to reveal God’s love and offer salvation to humanity. We believe that through His life, death on the cross, and resurrection, Jesus provided the only way for people to be reconciled with God and receive eternal life. As believers in Christ, we seek to reflect His character and truth in our art.

4. The Role of the Holy Spirit
   We believe in the active presence of the Holy Spirit, who empowers and equips believers for service, convicts the world of sin, and guides us into all truth. The Holy Spirit works through us to create, inspire, and encourage others, and we rely on His leading in our creative process and in our relationships with one another.

5. The Human Dilemma and Redemption
   We believe that all people are created in God’s image but have fallen into sin through disobedience, resulting in separation from God. However, we also believe in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who offers forgiveness and reconciliation to all who trust in Him as Lord and Savior. Our work as artists reflects the beauty and brokenness of the human experience, while pointing to the hope of redemption through Christ.

6. The Power of Art and Theatre
   We believe that art, including theatre, is a gift from God and a powerful tool for communicating truth, inspiring change, and reflecting the beauty of God’s creation. Theatre allows us to explore the depths of the human experience, share the Gospel, and engage with both believers and non-believers in meaningful ways. We commit to using our talents and creativity to honor God, speak truth, and love others.

7. The Community of Believers
   We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, and as part of that body, we are called to love, support, and encourage one another. Sowing Seeds strives to build a community where we can share our gifts, challenge one another in our faith, and grow in our understanding of God’s will. We are committed to fostering an environment of humility, respect, and love, where all voices are heard and valued.

8. The Great Commission
   We believe in the Great Commission, which calls all believers to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. Through our work, we aim to engage people with the message of the Gospel, offering a witness to the transforming power of Christ. We seek to use our performances and creative work to bring others into a deeper relationship with God and to encourage believers in their faith.

9. The Return of Christ
   We believe that Jesus Christ will return one day to judge the living and the dead and to establish His eternal Kingdom. We live in anticipation of this promise, knowing that our work on Earth is part of God’s greater plan. Until His return, we are committed to faithfully serving Him in every aspect of our lives, including our artistic endeavors.

10. Commitment to Integrity and Excellence
    We believe that as followers of Christ, we are called to live with integrity and to pursue excellence in all that we do. We commit to honoring God with our talents, striving to reflect His goodness and truth in our work. Whether in rehearsals, performances, or behind the scenes, we aim to serve with excellence and humility, seeking to glorify God in every aspect of our artistic expression.

In all things, we seek to reflect the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ, and to use our gifts to further His Kingdom and make Him known to the world. We pray that through our work we might bring glory to God, inspire others, and be a witness of His transformative power in the world.

In Jesus' name, we dedicate ourselves to this mission. Amen.
