The arts are important to the Purple Church. After all, we’re purple! Purple is an artsy color. Beyond the color, though, is a deeply rooted belief that our lives, our worship, our community, and our expressions of belief should be beautiful. God is the original creator, calling us to live artful lives of creation and beauty. 

This commitment to art takes many forms in this community. Some of our members have shown in local galleries. Others are active filmmakers. There are musicians, graphic designers, liturgists, photographers, painters, actors, and teachers at Hollywood Adventist Church. Together we desire to reveal Christ’s beauty and mission through our creative work. Through God’s Spirit, our lives become living worship.
