Why the
Arts?
We believe that the word of God is the foundation to our faith. Art is simply a way to communicate beyond the intellect to the soul of man. Many intellectual people have written off the Bible and the principles of Christianity, and art is the only way that they can be touched.
Credo Dance
Academy
In Augst 2007, we opened the doors of Credo Dance Academy (CDA) as a subsidiary organization of the Messiah Project, Inc. CDA is one of the few specialized schools in the Springfield area that promote non-competitive and appropriate dance instruction for children and adults.
