As Kingdom Creatives, we are based out of St Barnabas Church North London, and we are closely linked with Theresa Dedmon’s Create Academy, see www.theresadedmon.com.
Theresa Dedmon was the Creative Director at Bethel Church, Redding California for 19 years. An ordained pastor, her books “Create to be Free” + “Created to Overcome” are core to our Kingdom Creatives values using creativity to lead into an encounter with God. Everyone is gifted with a form of creative expression, as we are all made in His image (Genesis 1:27)
Kingdom Creative Values taken from “Developing a Kingdom Creative Culture” from Theresa Dedmon’s Born to Create, these are shaped by Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry:
Cultivating His Presence. God wants to partner with our dreams, we are not servants but children of God and we get everything for free because of the cross (Dedmon: 2012:100)
God is Good God is in a good mood all the time (Dedmon: 2012:103)
Honour We honour ourselves and others in our commitments. Honouring our past creates dividends for our future. (Dedmon: 2012: 105)
Loving Like Jesus. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. There is no fear in love. (1 John 4:18 NIV)
Community. We are in community with each other and with a committed group of Christians in our home churches, who we intentionally and regularly connect with (Dedmon: 2012:108)
Faith is spelt RISK When we take risks, we allow God to show up and move in and through us (Dedmon:2012:111)
Give Away We create and we give away some creative pieces for free. In doing so, we replicate the generosity of The Father’s Heart and the concept of Grace and we allow Him to move through what we have created, allowing others a personal encounter with HIM.
