The Territorial Creative Arts Ensemble seeks to glorify God (worship), grow in Jesus (discipleship), and connect with our communities (fellowship/outreach) through the arts. The group will meet up to 6 times a year via Zoom and up to 3 times a year in person to learn, create resources, teach, and perform to support the various ministries of The Salvation Army through performances and/or arts education. The Zoom meetings and in person weekends will be set to brainstorm, plan, create material, rehearse as necessary, and train.
All members will meet via Zoom. Select members will travel in person depending on the scope of the ministry weekends.
