Ruakh Arts is a nonprofit that builds bridges between artists and church leaders so that they can creatively and collaboratively cultivate beauty and vibrancy within Christian communities.

This program is in collaboration with Leland Seminary and fellows receive a Graduate Certificate in Worship Arts free-of-charge through completion of the program. The program emphasizes worship innovation, combating church disillusionment, and community partnership.

An RWAF Fellow’s weekly responsibilities include:

Working 24 hours at their host church/institution, involving creative projects, collaboration, staff meetings, worship services, rehearsals, and supervisor meetings.
Attending a weekly Roundtable Dinner for discussions on The Place of the Artist in God's World
Spending intentional time with their host family once a week.
Participating in 1-2 graduate-level courses each semester with in-person and online classes.
Collaborating on organizing and hosting an arts workshop for youth and/or adults in the spring.
Observing a weekly Sabbath day for rest and restoration.

EEf Culture: East End Fellowship is a multi-ethnic, economically diverse worshipping community in the east end of Richmond. We are a network of house churches who gather together on Sundays for public worship. Our mission is to see that every person in the east end of Richmond has multiple opportunities to become part of Jesus’ spiritual family.

Our values are

Holy Spirit Power
Biblical Discipleship
Biblical Justice and Mercy
Spiritual Family
Intentional Evangelism

East End Fellowship has a long history of appreciating the value that the arts, broadly construed, bring to liturgical spaces and practices. We remain committed to fostering spaces for creative expression that deepen communal discipleship and strengthen our collective witness to the world.
