Company of Saints (Drama)

This is an evangelistic outreach ministry on the move for God in search of the lost, the unsaved, and the captive. The moral fabric of America is being torn to shreds by issues such as family disintegration, crime, racial division, drugs and alcohol, and countless other problems that are destroying our culture. Many solutions that have been proposed to solve these problems consistently fall short of providing real long-term answers. Many of the proposed solutions address these issues from the outside in, and from the top down. Therefore, it is the belief of the A Company of Saints that the real answer lies in a transformation that comes from the inside out and from the bottom up, where the problem begins. Through professional productions, A Company of Saints addresses these issues from a biblical perspective. We believe that God has chosen this venue to reach those who might not necessarily come to church but would venture out to see a production. A Company of Saints is a creative force used by God to show forth His mercy, grace, and goodness.
