Youth Fine Arts Festival

We are excited to provide students with an opportunity to DISCOVER, DEVELOP, and DEPLOY their gifts and talents in ministry. One of our core values at Eagle LifeChurch is “Gifted to Worship.”  It is our desire that all of our youth experience worship in a way that is personal and in alignment with the gifting God has given them.

Fine Arts ministry has two expressions.

The first, is the ongoing ministry of our Youth Group and Church. We will ask the students who participate in Fine Arts to use these gifts in ministry during our regular services, outreaches, and other activities.

The second expression is the Fine Arts Festival. This is a competitive event that begins locally and ends nationally.  At the Fine Arts Festival students will present their art to a panel of adjudicators who will evaluate their ministry presentation.  They will receive a written critique and score. You will find the competition guidelines, list of categories and other helpful information linked here.

We encourage all Fine Arts participants to be active in both expressions of ministry.  There is a high standard for students who want to be involved, so a commitment is required before a student participates.

The local Festival is March 17-18, at River City Church in Boise. We plan to participate in the National Festival, Youth Conference, and General Council in Anaheim, CA, August 7-11, 2017.  This means that there will be considerable responsibilities for finances and commitment.

Registration deadline for the Festival is March 27.  You must complete the Registration Form, and be familiar with the expectations. We are in this together. The ELCYouth leadership team is here to make sure that you will have a positive experience so do not be afraid to ask for help.

We look forward to working together in this ministry!
