ArtServe is an exciting new organisation which supports the use of all creative arts in worship, including music, performing arts such as dance and drama, and visual arts like painting, banners and flower arranging.

Many styles of music have been prominent in our worship for many years and we will uphold and develop all aspects of our musical life – whether it be worship bands, music groups, choirs, instrumentalists, organists ... and of course we will be supporting songwriters, composers and arrangers too.

Increasingly, worship includes performance arts such as dance, drama, mime and puppetry, and we will encourage and support the use of these art forms.

Visual arts represent ever-expanding possibilities, whether simply informing or being actively included in our worship: banners, floral art, paintings, sculpture, through to film and TV. We will develop ways to make these more accessible to all for use in worship.

This website is planned to become a key part of our service provision enabling you to share ideas and experiences with others, and providing you with encouragement, tips and advice.
