Drama in church
Zach Buller
Junior
Memorial Road MB Church, Edmond, Okla.
Because I have always enjoyed
acting, I chose the drama ministry track. Our leader was
Dave, who has a degree in drama and has started a drama
ministry in his church. He emphasized that drama can
make the Word jump out at us and help people relate to
the Bible.
We split into groups and developed
skits to teach the parables. The group I was in was
given the story of the prodigal son. We changed the
setting to modern day and incorporated celebrities into
the story. I would have liked it if the ministry track
had given us lots more acting opportunities.
One of the things we talked about
that surprised me is that many churches do not have
drama departments. I learned that drama is important
because it helps people have a deeper understanding of
Scripture and I think this is one area in which I can
better serve my church.
