Statement of Purpose

Spotlight is a drama-oriented outreach ministry of Grace Baptist Church, committed to spreading the gospel through all forms of theatrical arts, in accordance with our statement of faith and the following principles:

· Principle of Matthew: A proving gospel written to God’s chosen people. Spotlight exists to speak to believers in Christ; encouraging them to further growth, re-dedication, and service; providing scripturally sound means to promote Christian faith.

· Principle of Mark: An action-oriented gospel written to gentiles. Spotlight exists to reach unbelievers; encouraging them towards a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ; breaking down barriers between the lost and the Lord.

· Principle of Luke: An informative gospel written to a fellow believer. Spotlight exists to teach and equip Christians; both in the tenets of our faith, and in the theatrical arts; to provide a learning-teaching environment.

· Principle of John: A philosophical gospel full of emotion. Spotlight exists to encourage, uplift, motivate and reach Christian and non-Christian alike; to promote scriptural principles and present Biblical truths in effective, impacting ways.

Though written for differing audiences and with differing methods, all four gospels share the same purpose. In this way, our four cornerstone purposes, and all forms of theatre as used by Spotlight, have the primary goal of promoting the saving, life-changing “good news” of Jesus Christ.
