Our Artist in Residence

We have a new name and face in the Immanuel Community! Caleb is our "Artist in Residence". Caleb describes himself as a multimedia artist that creates conceptual artworks with the intention of guiding the viewer through his thought process of working through problems in the world from the mind of a Christian. He was a theology and art double major in undergrad. And now seeks to use his two majors to bring light to injustices in our world today that Christians should be seeking to repair. In everything he does he tries to do it through love. Caleb wrote:

"My goal as an artist is to communicate love
in its many respects to all others through a Christian lens."

As part of his arrangement with his College he will be working part time at Immanuel without reimbursement. Our position description calls for Caleb to provide a visual Christian witness to and for the Greater Immanuel Community through multiple creative expressions." Together with the Pastor, the Board of Ministry and the various Areas of Ministry of Immanuel Baptist Church, the Artist in Residence will seek to “spread Jesus’ message of love, peace and justice…in a safe, loving, welcoming environment where everyone can heal, study, grow and serve.”

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13
