Art as Mission

As a professional artist and disciple maker, Jennifer's focus on Art as Mission is centered around community-building. She and Derek offer art lessons and engage our community with art projects and invite people to share in conversations about our Creator and faith.

  • Art Trek is a retreat for creative young adults ages 18 and older who join us while we engage nature as our inspiration for our art and music. This four-day, four-night event is hosted by Vancouver Island Church Plants and takes place at the picturesque waterfront village of Telegraph Cove on the northeastern tip of Vancouver Island.

  • Discovery Groups make a practice of obeying the scriptures we study together by power of the Spirit. By means of prayer and obedience, Discovery Groups will grow and spread - replicating ourselves by the disciple making process, thus becoming churches. These disciples begin by prayer and begin searching for their persons of peace. And in doing so, make disciples to make disciples who become churches.

    PEOPLE LIKE YOU

    Most of our support comes from people like you! We are blessed to have partners who share the vision for disciple making in Canada and the US. Many of our supporters are friends, or friends of friends who heard about the work here.

We are a part of a disciple making movement.

Our aim is to make disciples who make disciples who become churches.

Our practices include prayer, meaningful engagement, serving with purpose, carrying conversations from casual to meaningful to spiritual to biblical. We work to find our persons of peace - curious truth seekers - who are willing to take those biblical conversations and meet regularly with others in their lives who wish for the same. And in doing so, with God’s help, we make disciples to make disciples who become churches.

In our work on Vancouver Island, camping, hiking, volleyball, games, bible camps, Art Trek, neighbourly visits, weddings and road trips all offer time to engage Vancouver Island’s young people. We keep ourselves available and on-call, recognizing that every opportunity has potential for essential relationship building.
