Center for Creativity 
&
Christian Witness

INTEGRATING CHRISTIANITY & CREATIVITY

California Baptist University's Center for Creativity and Christian Witness is dedicated to illuminating the intersection of creative practice and gospel witness in contemporary culture. The Center brings together scholars, creative practitioners, and CBU students to develop and propagate cutting-edge thinking on:​​

 

  1. How Christianity provides a foundation for a flourishing creative person, process, product, and purpose.

  2. How contemporary culture influences current thinking about creative practice.

  3. How a Christian creative can commend the gospel as plausible and desirable in contemporary culture through their creative person, process or product.

​

The Center for Creativity and Christian Witness provides a variety of venues for students and scholars alike to explore how and why creativity matters for Gospel Witness.
