The 411 on Drama Ministry

The other day our drama ministry team leader was in Chatsworth and overheard someone talking about Rock Bridge. Specifically, they were discussing our drama ministry -- telling their friend why we do drama.
(I was pumped to know that they were saying the right things!)

From my perspective here is why RBCC is currently doing drama in about 50% of our Sunday services:
1) It prepares people for the message introducing them to the major theme and concepts in a creative way. It makes introducing the message easy.
It's sort of like the play action pass ... it's a great play and a potential big gainer but requires the run to set it up. Drama is like the run to set up the message.

2) If drama is done well ... with creativity, good acting, good props, etc. ... it creates a buzz and gives people another easy yet effective way to talk about God and our church.

3) It gives people another way to serve that is fun and meaningful.

Where do we get our dramas ... one of two ways:
--We write our own based on the sermon series and message topic.
--We purchase from other churches and adapt to fit our church/community.
