“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — - to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.

- we would like to teach and to share to those who display an interest in gaining the knowledge and skills for creating art in its various forms;
- we will encourage one another to devote ourselves in reaching out - to help others discover and develop their gifts of the arts through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- WE commit ourselves to serve others as a privilege of the Lord’s calling, always dwelling “in the shadow of God” upon Whom all things are possible.
