We often say that ENGAGE is called to the intersection of faith and the arts. We're honored to partner with Covenant-affiliated ministry NCircle and the JOCO Department of Corrections to offer classes at the JOCO Adult Corrections Facility in Gardner, KS. This semester, we're offering Fine Arts and Creative Writing. These courses are designed to give clients another tool to process their life and faith and to aid in recovery. The course supports NCircle's overall mission of connecting people to community opportunities to end the cycle of incarceration and stabilize families and futures.
Rachel Miller teaches the Fine Arts course.
Jessica Fick teaches the Creative Writing course.
Frequency
8-week courses offered in the Spring and Fall.
