Founded in 2021 by Destiny Wisniski, Forerunners for the Arts is a faith-driven performing arts nonprofit with a clear mission: to redeem and restore the arts and entertainment industry for the glory of God. We believe the arts are a powerful tool to communicate truth, awaken hearts, and transform culture — and we are raising up a generation of artists who carry both excellence in craft and depth in spiritual calling.Through year-round training programs, we equip dancers, actors, and creatives to walk boldly into the assignments God has given them — both inside and outside the traditional stage or studio. Our training is holistic, combining technical skill with mentorship, discipleship, and leadership development.In addition to training, we produce immersive, gospel-centered productions that blend dance, theater, animation, film, and narration to tell stories of redemption and hope. These productions are more than performances — they are ministry in motion, designed to reach hearts, spark transformation, and lead people to encounter the love and truth of Jesus.Your generous support allows us to continue impacting lives through both ongoing classes and large-scale outreach productions, like our annual Beloved Easter Production — which has already seen hundreds of salvations, baptisms, and transformed lives.Thank you for sowing into a vision where the arts are reclaimed for Kingdom purpose. Together, we are raising up forerunners who will carry light into the heart of culture.

Partner with us to bring Beloved to life and be part of a story that changes lives forever!As we step into our seventh season, Beloved Easter Production continues to grow as a powerful, immersive retelling of the story of Jesus, from Creation to Pentecost, through dance, theater, film, and narration. We have witnessed God tangibly move in ways beyond what we could ask, think, or imagine, resulting in over 1,000 salvations, 133 baptisms, and countless lives transformed.Hosted at Lifestyle Christianity, Beloved reaches thousands each year across Palm Sunday and Easter weekend, and in 2027, we’re expanding even further. With a growing vision for school tours impacting K–12 students and opportunities to take Beloved beyond our city, we’re preparing for our largest outreach yet.Your gift creates eternal impact. Every dollar given helps bring this production to life and extend its reach, covering essential needs like costumes, sets, venues, film, sound, and resources for both the stage and our expanding student outreach.More than that, your generosity:Equips artists and creatives to share the GospelOpens doors for students and families to encounter JesusMakes room for more lives to be transformedEvery gift matters.
