Creativity Alive
Cultivating New Creation
We participate in God’s work of renewal by faithfully stewarding what God has entrusted to us—our spiritual gifts, talents, imagination, and labor—so that signs of heaven’s life and restoration take root in everyday places in Jackson. We demonstrate this value by:
Creating pathways for original music, art, writing, and craftsmanship to be shared and celebrated in worship and community life.
Valuing process over polish and growth over platform, encouraging experimentation, faithfulness, and formation rather than performance.
Affirming and activating the natural and spiritual gifts of all as we experiment with imaginative forms of church and outreach, embracing risk, creativity, and iteration as faithful ways of discerning how God's image is expressed in our city.
Music is part of how we live and express our values. This playlist includes original songs from 1208 Greenwood and our artists, worship music we regularly sing together, and other songs that inspire us around this theme.
