What motivates us to live our Mission?

We all have heroes. Some of them are for their special abilities, some for their integrity and some for their impact in our lives. The Contemporary School of Fine Arts' heroes embody our values in their lives. These values also distinguish what makes The Contemporary School of Fine Arts unique.

Because we have Undeserved Grace, we value:

Unexpected Authenticity

Creating teaching moments through contact with each student in either one-on-one instruction or in class environments.

Mark 9:37, Mark 10:14,  I Timothy 4:12

Being the hands and feet of Jesus as instructors connect with each of their students.

Matt. 25:35-36

Instructors sharing their personal testimony with their students as to how God has used them in ministry.

I Peter 3:15

Unselfish Service

Investing in the development of talent and skills of the students God has trusted to our care.

I Chronicles 25:6, Ephesians 4:12, I Peter 4:10

Instructors seizing opportunities to set an example for their students by participating in worship opportunities within The MET.

I Chronicles 25:8, I Corinthians 1:11 

Undiluted Truth

Unashamedly sharing Christ with each student and family we touch.  

Romans 1:16, Philippians 1:20-21

Choosing repertoire that glorifies God and points people to Christ and God’s great love for us.

Undivided Living

Using talents for the Lord in various venues within the body of Christ – Worship Services, Recitals, Mission Opportunities, etc.

We look for opportunities to serve both inside and outside of the church. Our service is an act of worship and costs us something.

Unapologetic Evangelism

Seizing opportunities to share the love of Christ with students and their families who come in from our community.  This includes tangible (see a physical need and meet it) and intangible (verbally sharing the love of Christ).

Use opportunities of community service – singing or playing in nursing home venues, music programs in local public schools, community park concerts.
