About CAM

mission statement

Promoting flourishing through creative collaboration, authentic storytelling, and a missional spirit.

Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.

OUR PURPOSE

Creative Collaboration

We were created by the Father, Son and Holy Spirt to flourish together. Being made in God’s image, we also engage in Creative Collaboration.
We draw upon the past in study and practice to give ourselves time and space allowing the best ideas to emerge. We submit them to criticism and refine them before being unveiled our work to others.
