Bel Air’s Arts and Entertainment ministry to Los Angeles and the world.
THE BEACON MISSION
To further God's Kingdom by utilizing the arts, media and entertainment industry to transform
both individuals and the culture
1) Recognizing the unique profile and number of Bel Air’s congregants who are working and seeking
to work in all levels of entertainment, THE BEACON will minister to, and equip, the “industry
marketplace Christians” in our midst. To this end we will:
√ Impart training that enables our members to develop discernment, strengthen their
Integrity, and perform with excellence in the workplace of “Hollywood”.
√ Offer a holistic vision for the integration of faith and vocation within Bel Air’s
entertainment and creative communities.
√ Increase our members’ ability to be “salt and light” by encouraging them to
fulfill Christ’s mandate to personally evangelize (the gospel of salvation) and
transform culture (the social gospel) through their vocational calling.
2) THE BEACON will, both directly and indirectly, influence the mainstream media that
impacts the world. To this end, we will:
√ Reach “culture creators”, influencers and decision-makers in order to infuse
their business and creative choices, as well as their media content, with a Biblical worldview.
√ Encourage and facilitate the creation of new models and system
structures within Hollywood...ones that reflect Kingdom principles.
3) THE BEACON will serve as a resource to the greater body of Christ in navigating the
Cultural Revolution that is emerging through the media, arts and entertainment. To this end, we will:
√ Promote theologically accurate and culturally relevant content in media
by educating and engaging the greater body of Christ (the culture consumers) in their
role within the marketplace of ideas.
√ Provide servant leadership and vision within the Hollywood Entertainment
Ministry community to help allocate kingdom resources, minimize missed opportunities,
and maximize our orchestrated voice.
√ Equip other churches, pastors and ministries through teaching, training and
sharing of resources as they seek to incorporate arts and media into their vision for
ministry.
√ Engage seminaries and other educational institutions – so that future pastors
and leaders can embrace an ideology that engages culture and fully integrates
faith and vocation as t it relates to work in entertainment and general media.
4) THE BEACON will partner with, and facilitate, individuals and groups that use
entertainment and general media to teach, preach and evangelize to both the churched
nd the un-churched. To this end, we will:
√ Engage in global and local missions by effectively utilizing the creative talents and
gifts of those in our midst.
√ Supply training and resources to these individuals, organizations and
projects, as we seek to raise the level of quality, so that “Christian content” in
entertainment can reflect the glory and excellence of the master creator.
