Bible Theatre, What?! WHY??

BORING!!!

...how some people often times regard Christian entertainment; not entertaining in the least bit

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT??

Tradition has caused people of the 21st century (the new breed) to stray away from Bible reading and in turn develop new methods of teaching, praising and worshipping God and fellowshipping with one another.

We live in a world of change, and as we change, the ways of life must change as well. In order to accommodate the interests of today's young generations, the ministers and leaders of the church must tap into what attracts the attention of these developing minds. Technology has advanced tremendously over the past decade, allowing us to produce greater quantities of work while enhancing the quality. Why not use these tools to also advance the Kingdom of God?

THE ARTS can be found within all walks of life across the nations. It's a universal language that any person can understand and interpret. The body of Christ is one of unity, togetherness and love. When you think about it, the best way to come together to worship and praise God where everyone can equally participate is simple. The answer lies solely in THE ARTS. Hallelujah, the highest praise we can give our Lord, is the SAME in every language! How awesome is that?! By unifying as one body, we teach all and remain undefeated.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."
Proverbs 29:18

There are several companies that have indeed tapped into christian theater as its primary ministerial tool. The vision of Sight-Sound Theatres is similar to my vision of Butterfly Keys. Sight-Sound is based on theatre ministry, and from just viewing the website, I have gained much inspiration from this company. Because I believe we Christians should support each other in ministry, especially regarding THE ARTS, from a ministerial standpoint, I do not view them as competition but instead as another way to reach masses.

I challenge you to be creative. Turn your passion into ministry.
I HAVE :)

Based on Alexa, the industry's target audience has an age range from 35-64. The audience consists mostly of females, those with children, those who attended college and those who work.
Other websites used by the audience: Google.com, cytsandiego.org
Search terms used by the audience: christian theater, theater, christian arts, arts and theatre
I've learned throughout my research, that the spelling of the world theater/theatre matters. Most people search for theater as opposed to theatre.

Hello Out There!!!

Obviously, this is the first blog, and I must say, that I don't consider myself to be a blogger. (chirping crickets)

PLEASE BARE WITH ME. I'LL GET BETTER WITH TIME.

You will probably view more video blogs than written blogs from me, as I prefer to talk than to write.

What to expect: the first few blogs will recap happenings of this year. I will also be posting my endeavors and projects as they pertain to my degree requirements (MS in Entertainment Business: Internet Marketing) and relative sites and blogs related to this one, will be posted for your viewing as well. In the meantime, check out CeDarian's blog. CeDarian is a great writer/director and amazingly gifted actor. He will definitely keep you entertained throughout his blog. I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this site's material. The journey has officially begun!!

Thank you for visiting, and welcome!!
