At a Heart of the Artist Retreat, we explore a wide range of topics relevant to any worship team or arts ministry. All those involved in worship arts are welcome: musicians, singers, choir, production team, visual artists, etc. Especially geared to the average volunteer, the overall goal of the retreat is to help your team connect with God and with each other.
