Picture
Just about every year there is some type of drama program given. Sometimes on a smaller scale and like the photo shows, a bigger project like "One Bethlehem Night". Click on the photo to see the complete Musical/Drama on YouTube.
See "One Bethlehem Night" on YouTube.

"A Mountain Christmas Memory" portrayed a distressed father who had lost his job at the coal mine and as a result of continued search for work, had also lost hope and faith in God. It is interesting that the Senior High youth went into the Appalachia area on a mission trip in 2016 and saw first hand the devastation of the coal industry struggles.

Occasional Children's Musical/Drama programs are presented. "Angels Aware!", a Children's Musical telling of why God came to earth as a baby from an Angel's perspective. It was a wonderful time for all as the children learned the 10 Commandments and sent a clear message of the amazing love of God
