Vision
Theater is universal. It has the ability to touch everyone! My passion for Theatre Arts is what drives me, and my unquenchable faith sustains me! What better way to express my love and conviction than through staging a powerful, inspiring and true depiction of the life of Jesus Christ. The dramatic musical play is a mission and ministry that engages over 100 Christian actors, actresses, musicians, sound and stage hands, and support staff.
This production has brought the believing community from metro Atlanta Churches of Christ together for a higher purpose. God’s purpose: sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

About the Churches of Christ
Churches of Christ are independent Christian congregations located across the world who are in fellowship with one another based on the biblical foundation of our doctrine and practice. We believe that all of Scripture is inspired by God and provides everything we need to live a life that pleases Him. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:3) Because of this, we strive to worship in the same way the first-century Church worshiped when it was established by Jesus Christ.
Members from Churches of Christ in Metro Atlanta have come together to participate in the Scenes from the Life of Christ production as a demonstration of their faith and desire to share the Word of God.
