Fellowship of Artists
The following fabulous individuals and creative ministries are part of our Kingdom Creativity Fellowship of Artists. They carry the same heart to pursue their craft with and for the Lord to impact others and the world around them. These creatives do not fall prey to competition or comparison but believe, as we do, that a win for the Kingdom is a win for Jesus, and a win for Jesus is a win for all of us. God uses each of us to re-present Him through our unique creative expression, whether overtly or covertly. Our Fellowship of Artists are dedicated to radiating the light of Christ and standing together as we shine in the way God designed us to do.
We hope that you will check out these artists, peruse their websites and social media, and support them through your purchases and promotion.
Thank you, in advance, for supporting these artists. Please continue to visit from time to time and check out new additions to our Fellowship.
KELLY ARMSTRONG
Instrumentalist/Vocalist
Unique sounds have always sparked my inspiration to create and collaborate. Being raised in a house full of music produced a natural desire to create sounds of my own at an early age. No matter the location, there are always beautiful sounds to be heard; it is a matter of training the ear to hear them.
I started out playing guitar at the age of 13. My dad gave me two lessons in music theory and acoustic guitar and gave room for me to develop on my own. Since that time, I’ve studied various guitar techniques including electric, classical, and bass. In addition, I’ve become proficient with various instruments such as lap steel, ukelele, piano, and various percussion instruments. I work continually to improve as a musician to become a better conduit for new sounds.
I am inspired by the beauty all around me in both the natural and spiritual realms. Between the noise and distractions of daily life, there is beauty to be sought out. As a musician, my aim is to create a sound that changes or complements the atmosphere. My end goal is to inspire the creativity in others to pursue their creative desires to the fullest extent.

LAUREN ARMSTRONG
Creative Arts Specialist/ Painter/Illustrator
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always kept art close to me; finding life in colors, sounds, movements, words, light...no matter how dim or how bright. The place of creativity is one of my oldest friends. It is a living language that continues to speak volumes.
The collections of my artisan work have been crafted throughout several different seasons of my life. They were birthed in a variety of different atmospheres. Some of these paintings were done in private. Many were done within the midst of other artists, as we collaborated together. Still, others were created outdoors, as I sought to capture the beauty of creation on behalf of many different regions and people groups.
As an artist, I have come to understand that I have a responsibility to develop my craft of creative expression. I am committed to the calling to capture the heart of creativity and beauty. I must continue to learn to speak the language. It is one of my greatest joys to share what I find with others. Once I release my work, it doesn't belong to me anymore. My hope is that the viewers of my work would be sparked with a new piece of life of their own. May the language of creativity continue to have its way within the hearts and minds of us all!

PAMELA PASCHALL
Artist / Author
I remember the first time I tried to connect the idea of making something beautiful and trying to sell it. I was five years old and living in a small southern Oregon town. Using my mother’s clear nail polish on pretty rocks I knew would make them even more beautiful. Then I thought sharing their beauty with others was the obvious thing to do, so, standing by the side of Highway 199, I called out, “Rocks for sale!” Sadly, I didn’t sell any beautiful shiny rocks that day, but the idea that art should be sustainable has never left me. So, my current quest is to learn how to make my various forms of art create income for me.
I work in different mediums that include painting with acrylic on canvas, creating watercolors, and beautifying furniture. I write children’s books, my blog called 5 4 3 2 1 Go! Create! and am a contributor on a writer’s blog called Medium.
It is my belief that as humans we create because this is who we are. We are made in the image of God, the Great Creator, so we are also creators. I feel closer to my Creator when painting, writing, or even cooking. I find life and identity when what is in me reaches out and finds the strength that comes through my imagination touching the Creator's.

CHARLA PETERSON
Artist, Singer/Songwriter
When God stepped in to make this ‘new creation’, she showed up creating!!!
First with a folk band out of Dallas, then as a solo artist, for the past plus twenty years, Charla writes to process life and seeks to express joy, love, and truth to others through her multi-instrumental writing. With an ethereal and meditative sound on one day, and a folky bluegrass fusion the next, she doesn’t quite fit completely in any genre...she now resides with her new husband and four wonderful kids in Austin TX area.
In this new season, she is collaborating with friends across the miles with Bravery Music and with visual artist Gabi Kingsley of Thistlequiff to produce at least one song a month....her newest song journey can be followed at linktr.ee/cypeterson.
Charla tells stories through folk songs on one day, and pours out her heart as a worship leader on the next and categorizes these dual realities as a calling to sing “Out” and “Up”.
Charla is most fulfilled when the song she brings finds a home in another person’s heart and story like a statue in it's perfect niche.
