Who can join ArtServe?
Anyone can - you are welcome as a member whether you are an arts practitioner or simply interested in what we do and want to support us financially. But if you can answer 'yes' to any of the following you should definitely join!
- Do you have an interest in using creative arts in worship – for example as a preacher or worship leader?
- Are you a musician, artist, actor, dancer or creative writer who uses these gifts in worship? or would like to?
- Could you contribute expertise to help develop ArtServe?
- Do you exhibit, perform or lead workshops?
What are the benefits?
As a member of ArtServe:
- You receive ArtServe magazine
- You have access to members area of the website
- You can submit material for publication on the website

But perhaps more importantly you will have the satisfaction of contributing to the fellowship and support of those whose artistic endeavour enriches our worship and reaches out to those who may not yet know Christ, but whom St Paul told us to reach by 'all possible means'.
