Read below to learn more about our existing programs and future plans.

The Crucible I
Each weekly session of The Crucible consists of solid teaching from an assortment of gifted teachers—artists and non-artists—who challenge, instruct, and encourage. Built into the 12-week course are opportunities for interaction and ministry to each other. The course includes a weekend getaway, as well as occasions for creative ministry and expression.

The Crucible II
This second level course for alumni of Crucible I directs its focus to the relationship of the arts and culture. Students are challenged to rethink their belief systems and how those belief systems affect their art, as well as their interaction with culture.

Seminars
We offer a number of one-time events, which are organized to feed the creative community with constructive input on pertinent topics. Our seminars are often open to the public.

Multiplication
Nashville is by no means the only city that wields a powerful cultural influence through the arts. It is our desire to network with key people in every artistic and cultural center, and out of this network to partner with those to whom God leads us in order to see believing artists equipped with a stronger sense of purpose and a perspective of the Kingdom of God.

October 2002 saw the launching of just such a ministry in Paris, called La Fonderie.

Intensives
July 2005 will see the first ever Crucible Summer Intensive in Nashville. Click here for more info.
