Founded in 1971, the Academy of Arts exists to train and inspire the next generation of servant leaders to properly use the universal gift of communication for others’ good and God’s glory.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Philosophy Statement
Since 1971, The Academy of Arts has been dedicated to impacting our culture by “making the Bible come alive in minds and hearts” through gripping storytelling for stage and film. As we boldly and excellently craft stories that challenge the mind and engage the heart, lasting lessons of truth are planted into the soul.
Many people ignorantly believe that media, films, and stage productions are “only entertainment” and so they believe that these mediums do not impact the culture’s thinking. But as we look around us, we see a tsunami of evidence that points to the overwhelming power of storytelling in our world as our culture soaks up anywhere from eight to twelve hours of media per day on average! The messages, thoughts, philosophies, and belief systems that are being thrust into the minds and hearts of our children is staggering. And what is more troubling is that the messages being given are couched in humorous or intriguing storytelling that is structured to purposely usher in selfish and wicked belief systems.
The Academy of Arts has stood against the tidal wave of error, not by cursing the darkness, but by being a light! We continue to boldly and kindly share the power of God’s Word in creative and engaging ways through stage and film. As we create and craft compelling stories, we have seen thousands of lives changed as we bring young people into the process to disciple them and see them grow into powerful communicators for truth.
