What is Kingdom Creatives
(affectionately known as 'KiC')
We are a Fresh Expression of Church (but church not as you know it) and a community who share the Christian narrative and are passionate about creativity. We provide a mobile, organic space and prioritise nurture and encouragement for the artist/creative and anyone who enjoys creativity.
​
We are a Christ Church Clifton, Bristol, initiative and have amalgamated with the Bristol Arts Sphere (more of which can be found here on the 'Together 4 Bristol' website).

Who's welcome?
Everyone!

What do we do?
We facilitate GATHERINGS for those with faith, those who do not profess faith, those unsure.
Gatherings have different genres - worship, dialogue, exploration and presentation.

We are a NETWORK with three objectives -FELLOWSHIP - RESOURCING - OUTPUT
​
FELLOWSHIP
we have a committed core team, adopting principles of support, sharing and endeavouring to prefer one another. We see this as both the model and catalyst for transformation.
​
RESOURCING

​
OUTPUT
we want to find out what people want and how Kingdom Creatives works for them. Action will include convening, initiating and coming alongside projects
