Community

ArtServe is a community of people who enjoy creative and expressive arts of all types, and in particular the way in which they can be used to enrich worship, and help the church communicate with those who might not otherwise find the time, opportunity or reason to share their experiences with us.

Read more about becoming a member. Members receive our magazine and have access to the members area of this website.

Our bi-monthly email newsletter is normally published in January, March, May, July, September, and November. In addition we send occasional emails to advertise particular events such as our annual festival.

ArtServe is active on Facebook: we post on our Facebook page at least once a week, and ArtServe members can join our ArtServe Fellowship closed group.

ArtServe awards can be given to recognise the often unsung contribution of anyone who has employed their creative skills in the life of the church.

The Freeman (Methodist) Music Trust makes grants, particularly for tuition for organists, other instrumentalists and singers, who contribute to music in worship. While ArtServe is an ecumenical organisation, this trust is at present limited to Methodist churches. People of any age are encouraged to apply, although the trustees especially welcome younger applicants.
