6. They provide artistic and creative contributions

Slide 6 of 7

The Bible acknowledges the importance of artistic contributions in Exodus 35:35: “He has filled them with the skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.” This verse highlights that God values and empowers artistic talents for his glory.

Women’s talents—in music, visual arts, drama, and other creative expressions—can enhance the worship experience and bring the biblical message to life in unique and powerful ways.

Women often serve as worship leaders or choir directors, using their musical gifts to lead the congregation in praise and worship. Their ability to choose songs and create worship sets that resonate with the congregation can profoundly impact the service’s atmosphere. Women’s voices and musical talents add richness and diversity to the worship experience.

Visual arts also play a significant role in the church. Women can contribute through painting, sculpture, and other forms. Their visual works can visually depict important spiritual ideas—for example, by illustrating biblical stories or sermon themes.

Women’s creativity can also shine in drama and other storytelling forms. Through skits, plays, and other dramatic presentations, women can convey powerful messages and bring biblical narratives to life.

Art evokes emotion, provokes thought, and creates a visually engaging environment, drawing people to contemplate their faith deeply. When churches encourage women to contribute, they unlock new learning and expressions they didn’t expect.
