Providing opportunities for youth and adults 
to develop and share their gifts in music, drama, and art with the community.

MFAM (Messiah Fine Arts Ministry) continues to offer numerous opportunities for Fine Arts planning and implementation in worship, Sunday education, and complete stage presentations throughout the year.

Fine Arts Theater
Typically, Messiah produces two to three complete stage presentations each year. This past year we were blessed with sold-out runs for our summer presentation of Hello Dolly!. The cast numbered over 50 and more than 100 persons helped “behind-the-scenes” in a variety of ways. All productions are open to the community-at-large for participation both on stage and behind-the-scenes. The “Joy Center” theater seats approximately 175 in theater style seating or 80 for our Dinner Theater presentations.
