Our Mission
UPCI Arts exists to create and support Spirit-led storytelling that communicates Truth with excellence.
Through live dramas, narrative films, visual arts, and creative collaboration, we seek to develop Apostolic artists and craftspeople while creating meaningful experiences that glorify God, strengthen the church, and reach those beyond its walls.
why upci arts?
The world is shaped by stories.
Jesus often taught in parables because stories have a unique ability to reveal Truth, inspire faith, and move people to action. We believe Apostolic storytellers can craft modern parables that serve as evangelistic tools, edify the church, and compel those on their way into the church.
Just imagine
What if Apostolic artists, writers, musicians, designers, actors, technicians, and storytellers came together to create something extraordinary?
We are currently developing multiple stories for both live experiences and video production. From full-length musicals and historical dramas to documentaries exploring the rich heritage of the Apostolic movement, we believe the possibilities are just beginning. The future of UPCI Arts will be shaped by many creative disciplines working together to tell meaningful stories for the Kingdom.

The pitch
To reach the lost, Jesus told stories using the most effective communication tools of His day. Today, we believe visual arts play a vital role in reaching people beyond the four walls of the church.
right now
UPCI Arts is currently developing its first pilot project—a narrative short-form video designed to demonstrate the vision and establish a foundation for future productions. As this work progresses, we aim to build the resources and teams needed to produce historical dramas and tell the story of our Apostolic heritage in new and compelling ways.
The bridge
Evangelistic stories serve as a bridge to Truth. Help build that bridge today!
We’re actively looking for talented Apostolic artists and craftspeople to plug in to meaningful projects. If you’re interested in joining a project, click the link below.

Why this matters
The mission of the UPCI is to bring the whole Gospel to the whole world by the whole Church. Storytelling remains one of the most effective ways to reach people at scale. When done with excellence, stories communicate Truth in a way that is both memorable and impactful, serving as a bridge between the world and the Church.
At the same time, UPCI Arts seeks to connect gifted Apostolic artists with meaningful projects—creating new opportunities for them to use their gifts in the Kingdom of God.
Real Experience, Real Impact
UPCI Arts is supported by a network of experienced artists, technicians, and creative leaders working together to bring new stories to life. United by a shared commitment to excellence, this team is helping shape a future where Apostolic storytelling can reach people in powerful ways.
god uses artists
There are many Apostolic artists with a burden to create—called to tell stories for the Kingdom, but without a clear path to do so. Your giving helps create that path, opening new opportunities for visual storytelling that have never existed in our movement, and equipping the next generation to use their gifts for God’s glory.
