Drama Ministry

Mission Statement:
It is our purpose to proclaim God-inspired truth through the medium of the dramatic arts; declaring, illustrating, and clarifying biblical truth, giving all the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 It is our desire to witness to the lost and to be sensitive to those unchurched.  It is also our desire to present various types of drama, from monologues to 3-Act plays, from dinner theatre to passion plays.
 

“I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some”.
~ 1 Corinthians 9:22 ~
 

The Drama Team of Burkemont Baptist Church Guidelines:
Ministry is our first reason for existence; therefore, members are expected to accept their responsibilities and opportunities in the spirit of Christ.
Because we have accountability to the Minister of Music, scripts for performance and group plans will be cleared with him.
Because we are accountable to the church as well, and because ours is a ministry organization, we feel that the individual lifestyles of our participants need to reflect the Lord we are proclaiming.
Each participant is expected to be committed to the particular drama they are involved with, respecting each others time, schedules, and personal and church property.
Lastly, drama ministry in the church demands the same level of integrity and holiness that should characterize every other dimension of God’s kingdom.  Integrity is that seamless tapestry that must run throughout all that the church is and does; in all it various ministries and expressions.

The Passion of Christ, Burkemont's Easter Pageant, will be presented Friday-Sunday, March 26-28 at 7:00 p.m. each evening. 

We welcome anyone and any age to participate.  We do ask that children, under the age of 10, be accompanied by a participating parent.  There are many areas in which you can volunteer.  The following is a list in which volunteers are needed.

• Speaking and Non-Speaking Roles (the majority of speaking roles are for men)
• Disciples, Soldiers, and Crowd
• Stage Moms (a very important position who work closely with the director)
• Stage Construction
• Stage Props
• Lighting Techs
• Sound Techs
• Costumes
• Make-Up
• Counselors

• Parking Attendants
• Meal Prep
• Childcare
• Prayer Warriors
• Advertising

Rehearsals begin mid-February.  We are keenly aware that people have very busy lives and try to be very sensitive to that by scheduling rehearals primarily on Sunday afternoons; however, as we draw closer to the performance, our rehearsals may increase and become longer.  We do ask that you pray before you commit.  Once you commit, you will be depended upon.  Remember:  this too, is a ministry, presenting the truth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

If you have an interest in drama and would like to participate, please call Pastor Philip Long or Giovonnia Hennessee in the church office at 828.437.2357.
