WELCOME Creativity shifts atmospheres, shapes culture and alters history. It can transform a person; it can transform a nation.

Welcome to a powerful weekend of worship and creativity in one of the most beautiful and picturesque communities in North America, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We hope that this stimulating event will bring refreshment and spiritual nourishment and awaken your creativity as you learn to walk in your supernatural destiny. Our featured speaker, Theresa Dedmon, and her ministry team from Bethel Church in Redding, California, will help us understand how God equips each one of us to walk in Christ’s call to transform culture.

This weekend is not just for artists and musicians, but is designed for ANYONE who desires to awaken the dream and activate the gifts that God placed inside us.

Our experience with the Creator will form a trail for others to follow. Each workshop is designed to set people free to express their creativity and learn how to partner with the Holy Spirit. Discover how creativity in the culinary arts, writing, music, business (and more) can build bridges to your community and be God’s secret weapon for civic renewal.

AWAKEN the dream God placed inside you.

ARISE and reflect His Glory and Beauty.

ASCEND to become cultural influencers and advance Kingdom Creativity. “… Make every effort to confirm your calling.”

There is a way of bringing justice in the world only you were created to bring. There are innovative strategies for business, teaching, governing, and healthcare, that God placed in you to bring Heaven to earth. There is a lyric, a melody, a song that God intended you to prophesy over a city that will heal and transform hearts.

There is a unique story He placed in you to reveal truth and goodness to a broken and hurting world. Like facets of a diamond, we each reflect and radiate an aspect of His glory, His nature, and His beauty. We owe it to our communities to be our most authentic self.

The Kingdom of God is upside down from the kingdoms of this world. To be a citizen of God’s Kingdom means we don’t have to perform FOR our identity; we perform FROM our identity.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 We are called to go out. We are called to be leaders in culture and creativity. We are called to break down the barriers of religion. The world doesn’t need another argument; people need an experience. It is time for us to ASCEND to be cultural influencers and advance Kingdom Creativity so that we can bring Heaven to earth.
