Connecting@Cumberland...Cumberland Arts

Cumberland Arts at Cumberland First Baptist Church exists to promote the appreciation of and participation in the arts within the Cumberland community and beyond. Through the full range of performance and visual media, we aim to lift the spirit and deepen the experience of beauty and delight at the core of our lives. Cumberland Arts is a ministry of Cumberland First Baptist Church, initiated in 2003. The charge of Cumberland Arts is to provide quality artistic experiences in combination with support of local and global mission. Through mission collaboration with groups ranging from our local C.O.M.E. ministry, to the Lighthouse Children’s Ministry of Tallin, Estonia, to the Edna Martin Christian Center, Cumberland Arts invites audiences to delight in artistic beauty while making a difference in the world around them. Over its five years of existence, Cumberland Arts has hosted such groups as The Indianapolis Children’s Choir, The Irish Airs, Theatre Non Nobis, Celtic Motion, the Key Strummers, IndyVoiceWorks, and the Whole Person Steel Drum Orchestra. Cumberland Arts has also held two arts festivals for the community.

The 2007-2008 Season will include benefits for our Suburban Eastside Pastoral Counseling Ministry and Medical Service Project Honduras. For more information about Cumberland Arts, all 317-894-2645 or e-mail cumberlandarts@comcast.net.
