Spotlight is a purposeful program designed to help any corps integrate live music and arts into worship on a consistent basis. It fosters meaningful discipleship through personalized, one-on-one mentoring. Spotlight provides a safe and supportive environment where young artists can come together in worship while developing their artistic gifts and talents in music and the arts. Through structured objectives, participants are encouraged to grow in proficiency within their chosen artistic disciplines, equipping them for active participation in weekly worship services.
