Some information on our Creative Arts ministry:

Church of Praise Creative Arts Ministry has been established with the purpose of equipping Christians of every generation to worship Jesus through movements & creative arts. We seek to encourage believers to a higher level of freedom in their expressions of worship unto God and to be equipped for spiritual warfare with the biblical instruments of praise. Through the creative arts, we also seek to minister to unbelievers the gospel of Christ.
