the act

Art + Christ = Transformation

A bi-annual creative encounter for culture, community, and Kingdom.

What Is The ACT?

The ACT is GoBU’s bi-annual community event where culture’s hottest, most pressing topics are brought into the light of Christ through creative arts.

We gather storytellers, poets, singers, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, and thought leaders to address the questions, tensions, and truths shaping our generation.

It’s not a show.
It’s not a conference.
It’s not a typical Christian event.
The ACT is an encounter.
A collision between art and truth.
A space where Christ interprets culture, identity, and the moment we’re living in—through the voices of His creative sons and daughters.
Why The ACT Matters?

We live in a time of cultural acceleration—where trending topics, social opinions, and identity conversations shift every 48 hours. The ACT slows the noise and reveals Jesus as the lens through which we understand:
  • pain and healing
  • culture and community
  • purpose and identity
  • creativity and calling
  • justice and mercy
  • truth and love

And instead of sermons alone, we use artistic expression to tell the story.
Art reaches where arguments can’t.
Christ transforms where culture is confused.
This event brings both together.
