Connecting Compassionate Response with the Arts and Worship

The needs around us are growing—crisis, trauma, and mental health struggles touch nearly every family and congregation.

But many believers feel unprepared to help.

At the Creative Compassion Conference October 16-18, 2026 in Indianapolis we’ll explore how congregations and artists

can respond to a hurting world with Spirit-led, arts-based, trauma-informed creative approaches.

When hearts break, creativity can become a lifeline. When words fail, the arts can still speak.

Hosted by Indy Vineyard Church
