NCH Drama Ministry

About Us

The Drama ministry of New Covenant House (NCH) comprises of a group of talented people including actors, writers, mimes, poets, sign language interpreters, costume designers, fashion designers and artists who love the lord, have a desire to serve, and are willing to devote sacrificial time to prepare and perform in dramatic arts for the edification of the audience and for the Glory of God.

The Drama ministry of NCH nurtures and utilizes the gifts of its members so that Christ can be seen through us. This ministry brings together spiritual gifts, natural talents, professional training, and creative abilities for God’s glory.

…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Our Mission & Goal

Nothing captures the minds and hearts of people like live theater. In an instance, the audience can go wherever you want them to go—from the comfort of their home to the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ, which is central to the Christian faith. Every act, reels in the audience, causing them to become a part of both the story and the message. The message is that Jesus is the way into a relationship with God the Father.

Our mission is to make known God-inspired truth using theatre to minister salvation and grace to all people. 

Our goal is to make known God-inspired truth using various forms of drama: stage plays, snippets, and skits to minister salvation and grace to all people.

  • To nurture and utilize our members' talents to present aspects of Bible scriptures and Christian life through dramatic expression to inspire the church and the community at large.
  • To share our Christian faith boldly and model Christ's likeness to others.
  • To build a team that demonstrates unity in Christ by encouraging, supporting, and building up one another.
