Why We Create: The Role of Art in the Local Church

This episode is a round table conversation with three creatives who serve on staff at Bell Shoals Community Church in Tampa, Florida: PJ Davis (Music Director), Patrick Clark (Creative Strategy Pastor), and Tim Lapointe (Lead Filmmaker), hosted by SALT Community’s Brittany.

The conversation explores why film and music matter in the local church, tracing each panelist’s personal calling into creative ministry, unpacking how story and technology have opened the door for churches to disciple through art, and wrestling honestly with the line between creating emotion and manipulating it. This is the first of a two-part conversation; part two moves from the “why” into the practical “how” of collaboration and process.

Key Takeaways:

  • Treat creative work as a discipleship tool, not just production value. S
  • Check your intentions constantly. 
  • You don’t need a big budget or a professional composer to start.
