Creative Collective
We are a community of artisans moved by love, bringing light and colour for the world to see.
Anna Joyce
Worship Pastor
Creative Collective is a gathering of dreamers — painters brushed in colour, dancers fluent in motion, writers weaving worlds that inspire, actors breathing life into story, photographers capturing the essence of humanity, and singers and musicians turning breath into song.
We are undone and remade by the vast, wrap-around love of God — a love that surrounds, sustains, and sings over us. And from that holy wonder rises our longing: to pour this love into the world, to awaken every creative soul to co-create with Him, offering their singular gifts and sacred callings as brushstrokes in His greater masterpiece.
Painters
Artwork is a significant expression of both worship and the prophetic at Stairway. As a community of painters, we explore the visual arts as a manifestation of our God-given creativity, seeking to reflect His beauty, truth and heart through what we create.
We meet regularly to encourage and inspire one another, creating God-inspired pieces across our Sunday gatherings and special events. Through colour, texture and form, we offer visual expressions that accompany worship and invite others to encounter God in a fresh way.
Dance
Dance is a language of movement and breath, rhythm and worship. We bring an offering of movement both crafted and free: choreography shaped with intention for special events and spontaneous surrender as the Spirit leads in our services.
At times it becomes a prophetic act—a visible prayer carried on lifted hands and active feet. We place our offerings before the Lord, inviting others to encounter God not only in word and song, but in motion and wonder. We meet regularly to journey together and explore how movement becomes ministry.
Writers
Stairway Writers is a gathering of people who are passionate about expressing their God-given creativity through the written word. It represents an opportunity for wordsmiths to join together for inspiration, skilling and encouragement across a breadth of forms.
From poetry, crafted prayers and Psalms to novels and everything in between, we celebrate all forms of writing. Stairway writers is a place to release the written word into the life of Stairway and beyond, expressing the realities of life, faith and His love.
Media
Stairway Media exists to partner with God's plans and purposes by supporting Stairway's call to be a people of Relentless Love. We are a community of technically skilled creatives who delight in creating atmospheres and spaces where people are drawn into worship and encounter with the Father.
We serve the church on a weekly basis during our Sunday Gatherings, by shaping and sculpting sound, light and vision. Our heart is that all that we do to serve comes first from a place of deep relationship with God and connection with each other.
Photography
Stairway Photography brings together a group of people who share a love and passion for photography.
We explore and share different ways of capturing images that express life, reveal God's love, celebrate creation, and express our own particular passion. There are opportunities to be involved as a Stairway Photographer, using our skill to capture services and events. We invite others who love the art of seeing creatively from behind the lens, to join us.
Worship
We are a community of worshippers who delight in God’s Presence and partner with His Kingdom to make His praise resound in splendour!
We choose the quiet posture of surrender — lives laid down, souls bowing at His feet — that in all we are and all we offer, His Name might be lifted high and made glorious.
Our longing is this: that through every melody and crafted sound, His holiness would shine, His beauty be unveiled, and His justice echo through the artistry of our worship.
