CREATIVE WRITING DEPARTMENT

Welcome to Creative Writing at House of Bethany, a place where pens become instruments, voices echo divine truth, and every word is an offering. This department is more than an academic experience; it’s a sacred journey into the heart of worship through language. Whether you’re a poet, songwriter, or spoken word artist, this space invites you to listen deeply, write boldly, and express poetically.

 

Class sessions will explore the art of crafting songs, poems, and prophetic pieces with intentionality and spiritual sensitivity. You will discover your unique creative identity and personal writing style through writing modern-day Psalms, choreographing spoken word pieces, and collaborating with musicians, dancers, and vocalists. The curriculum will walk you through the full creative process, including songwriting structure, tone, delivery, chord chart creation, and even the ancient role of the scribe.

 

The Creative Writing Department is designed for everyone! Whether you’ve never written before or have advanced writing skills, no prior experience is required. You can learn to find your voice and refine your craft. There’s room for you here to grow, stretch, and be activated.

This piece comes from our Creative Writing department's personification assignment, where students select an object from Scripture and give it a voice. In this video from our Showcase, one student brings to life the perspective of the spear that pierced Jesus’ side, offering a powerful and reflective look at the crucifixion through the eyes of an inanimate witness.
