Teaching creative arts in rural Jamaica to equip individuals with skills to serve in church & school communities
Art is fundamental to who we are as humans - our mission is to help others in Jamaica find their creative skills to use for God's glory. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift to God.
Our Mission is to ignite and support creative passion, artistic skills & communication gifts in church and school communities in rural Jamaica.
Why?
Living in today’s global society, Jamaica’s rural church workers and educators aspire to a level of competence in creative arts that reflects our interconnected world.
Lack of resources and inaccessibility to instruction are major obstacles for rural Jamaicans desiring to pursue an interest in creative arts.
As image-bearers of God, we possess the possibility to create something beautiful that reflects God’s nature, and for both His and our pleasure.

"Here at Maggotty, we have a lot of talent in terms of musicians, but we don’t have the resources to harness these skills. The Music Camp here is gearing these students to realize their own potential, so I’m glad to have you guys here. (2015)"

"The Church Choir Workshop was very good. As a matter of fact one of our older participant and two youth members have joined our choir. The resources that you had given to us were very helpful. I liked all the songs and even now I find myself just singing them. We are all looking forward to this kind of continued workshop."
