ARTISTIC SUPPORT
W.A.R. offers training, workshops and peer mentoring to its growing network of dedicated Christian artists and performance technicians. We are not only constantly looking for ways to support member artists with their artistry and vision, we are also looking for ways to enhance the artistic vision of churches, schools and other various institutions. WAR membership includes a pool of talent that our supporters can draw from for various arts-related programming. By galvanizing our artistic skills and resources, we truly become "helpers one to another."
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Money matters! And try as we may, lack of funding often limits our creative ventures. Our "Paintbrush Fund" provides funds to help you serve the Lord with your art! The application for these funds is simple and expedient.
As a 501C3 nonprofit, WAR can also act as a fiscal agent to individuals interested in seeking larger state and private grant funding. We also have been blessed to host very successful fundraisers for our members. We are a member-supported nonprofit, so as our membership grows, so will our funding capacity.
"On behalf of HOPE Multimedia Company, we want to thank Melodie Thompson and the W.A.R. staff for an excellent collaboration in debuting the YTF movie to their region of RI. From the initial meeting with the staff to the day of the event, they were professional, on task and worked together nicely. Thanks for an awesome job!"
Domingo Guyton, CEO, DEECO Enterprise (Former President, HOPE Multimedia Company)
"I would like to thank Worship Arts Restoration so much for the financial assistance. These funds are going towards the studio time for the launch of my new singles. The studio recording is the next big step in my life as a Gospel Artist to allow the world to partake in my gift. Thank you again for being a part of our humble beginnings."
Teneille Ward Burke, Gospel Recording Artist
PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
Most of our WAR Membership is composed of performers. We bring healing, laughter, joy...God's message of redemption, salvation and hope through dance, theatrical, musical and visual art performances! With the acquisition of Maplestreet Performing Arts Center &Theater, we are able to provide a stage and professional compensation for our professional level artists. Whether it is on the MPACT Stage or in the multipurpose room of a Homeless Shelter- WAR members are here to offer performances that offer hope and healing to a hurting world!
On behalf of Valiant Arts Studio, we would like to thank Worship Arts Restoration for their relentless support. Because of you, our fundraiser “Dance Donations” was a major success. Because of your help, we are able to continue growing. Thank you for the love and passion that you pour into our community.
CHARITABLE WORK
Like the "Peace Corps," the WAR Corps is known for doing charitable work in the community. We made enhance this practical service with music or dance, but we also roll up our sleeves and get the job done. Whether it's helping to feed the hungry in nearby communities, or joining a Mission Team to help with Disaster Relief, WAR is there---either by sending members or sending funds. We understand that being
God's Servants in the Arts means being God's Servants in a lost and needy world.

"WAR (Worship Arts Restoration) has been an awesome supporter and advocate for COSMIC CHRISTMAS.
We can honestly say if it were not for their donations, advertising time, technical support and belief in our dream, COSMIC CHRISTMAS would not have had such a successful debut performance."
Thank you Worship Arts Restoration for being so compassionate and helping me in a time of great need. Jesus bless you.
