Give creativity a larger space in your life.
Create in Me is a spiritual retreat connecting art and faith. Over the weekend, we make space for God’s creativity to flow in and through each participant. Learn from artists excited to share their skills, be inspired by the Spirit, and experience holy creativity in community. Let God create in YOU!
