Culture Creators for Christ

Our Purpose

 “In the beginning, God created. . .” Creation was God’s first recorded act. As image-bearers of Christ, creativity is part of our divine calling. By nurturing that calling, we honor that Christ’s image in ourselves and others. The arts serve as powerful vehicles for storytelling and representation, portraying the entire arc of God’s redemptive narrative. When we tell stories, we promote love, faith, redemption, forgiveness, and grace. Moreover, genuine artistic community celebrates truth and Truth, recognizing the call to love our neighbors and share our gifts. North Greenville University recognizes this high calling. 

The College of Communication and Fine Arts at North Greenville University aspires to glorify God by cultivating culture-creators in visual arts, communication, music, and theatre who are equipped to serve as transformational leaders for church and society.

What Our Teachers Are Saying

Hayley De Gonzalez, MFA

Department Chair, Art


“From the very first verse in Genesis, creativity serves as the starting point for all life. Art serves as both a connection and reflection of our Divine Creator. Making is a divine activity that mirrors God’s act of creation. The act of creating art is a way of bringing renewal and hope into the world, can sow the seeds of fellowship, and serve as a means to share the gospel, as our Father reflects in our works.”

    Amy Dunlap, MFA

    Associate Dean, School of the Arts

    “Imago Dei serves as a profound invitation to explore and express our creative potential, recognizing that the very act of creation is woven into the fabric of our existence as reflections of the divine Creator. As individuals embrace the notion of bearing God’s image, they find not only validation for their creative pursuits but also a sense of purpose and fulfillment. This theological understanding becomes a guiding light, inspiring us to channel our creative energies in various endeavors, be it the arts, sciences, or innovative problem-solving. In doing so, the creative impulse becomes a sacred journey, echoing the divine act of creation and contributing to the flourishing of the individual soul.

      What Our Students Are Saying

      Claira Mayhall

      “The art department at North Greenville University has consistently been a place of creative inspiration and insight to all those who enter! While studying the arts here, I have felt encouraged by each of my professors to continue to pursue my passion as well garnered wisdom on how to pursue it more effectively. Some of my favorite classes have been ceramics, film photography, and printmaking! Every class has been a challenging as well as rewarding environment. I am exceedingly grateful for the time I’ve spent learning art at NGU!”

        Chappie Livdahl

        “Our Theatre program is SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME! Every show I’ve worked on has helped me to grow as an actor, every class is always teaching something new and interesting, every single person I’ve gotten to know and work with is so amazing and encouraging, and all the professors are super kind, helpful, and encouraging. This whole department just feels so much like a family, and that keeps me coming back every day.”
