Reclaiming the Arts for Christ

With a passion for building up communicators grounded in a Biblical philosophy, The Academy of Arts Christian Conservatory holds fast to its mission of training young people in the powerful mediums of drama, music, and film.

Apprenticeship

The Academy of Arts Apprenticeship Program is a rigorous hands-on opportunity for students to not only receive immersive time and training in their chosen department, but also to receive mentorship for the purpose of becoming a future staff member with the Logos Theatre. Because of this unique purpose, students are highly vetted before entry to the program and the number of students accepted is limited.

Master's Degree

Students will travel on our Dramatic Word Seminars for two years. A Drama Seminar is a week-long, action-packed evangelistic-focused drama week that gives Christian schools and homeschool groups a professional drama experience with an eternal focus. Master students will learn how to produce and teach all aspects of dramatic production (costumes, sets, technical, directing, makeup, etc.) to these elementary and high school students throughout the country.

DISCIPLESHIP

The universal command from our Lord to “make disciples” is paramount. Accordingly, our program seeks to build Christlike character in each participant through one-on-one accountability and loving, honest conversations so that everyone changes to be a more fruitful disciple of the Master.

Biblical Perspective

Most of the modern world has a perspective on the arts that says “it’s just entertainment – it doesn’t matter!” We could not disagree more as we see the agendas of Hollywood and Broadway fundamentally changing the vision and values of our culture. Our biblically-based philosophies prepare each student to earnestly contend for the faith amidst a world filled with humanistic thinking.

SERVANT LEADERSHIP

“He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” (Matt. 23:11) The performing arts can bring a spirit of pride or unhealthy ambition, but we teach that there are “no small parts” in a project. So whether you are center stage or moving sets in the dark, we learn, grow, and lead most effectively by serving others.

About us

In 1974 “The Academy of Arts College on Wheels” program was begun out of the necessity to provide college-aged young people a safe place to hone their artistic talents and God-given gifts for use in ministry. 

Students were invited to travel with the Chavers, the founders of The Academy of Arts Ministries, for an educational program which would provide them with the training and hands-on experience vital to this unique endeavor. 

Over the years the program has expanded, and in 2014 God allowed us to take our place amongst Christian education as the only Christian institution solely dedicated to the study of the performing arts and how to use them to impact the world for Christ.
