Welcome to enCompass Center for Creative Arts
What is enCompass?
enCompass Center for Creative Arts is a ministry of Chapel Hill Fellowship committed to helping all persons discover, develop and demonstrate their God-given gifts and talents. enCompass serves Wichita and the surrounding communities by providing a place that fosters the unearthing of persons' individual, innate creativity.
Why enCompass?
We believe that the Center is a Divinely-inspired IDEA, a "melting pot" environment where persons can:
Identify their unique giftedness;
Develop their individual creativity;
Express their individual gifts in a positive manner and within a positive environment; and
Actualize their creative dreams.
We Believe:
God is the Divine Creator and the source of all creativity.
God created humankind in His image and therefore, our creativity is a direct reflection of His. Because God is the creator of all things, human artistic expression is simply a re-presentation of what He has already created.
The Arts serve as a means of expressing our God-given creativity.
We are responsible to nurture others in their journey to self-expression.
It is our duty to provide a place of support, encouragement, and acceptance for the developing artist.
Is enCompass just for "artists"?
enCompass is founded on the belief that every person has within him/herself not only the capacity to create, but the fundamental need to do so. enCompass's thrust is to provide the tools to assist the individual in his/her creative development and then to help facilitate positive expression of the product in whatever venue is chosen, whether it be public or private, sacred or secular. Best summarized, one of the primary foci of enCompass is the practical empowerment of the individual to leave a lasting impact upon his/her surrounding culture.More...
