Masterwork Academy: Cultivating a love for Jesus in children

Masterwork Academy seeks to enrich elementary students through training in Scripture, music, visual art and ballet—all rooted in the Christian faith and belief that we were created to be creative.

“Our key verse, Ephesians 2:10, describes both us and our call," explains Jenette McEntire, who leads the Masterwork Academy initiative "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

At the start of the 2019-2020 school year (our third year), Masterwork Academy grew from a two-day to a four-day-per-week after school ministry serving students grades 1-5 exclusively from Anderson Elementary. Throughout the school year, from 3:15 – 5:45 p.m. on any Tuesday through Friday, you will find us on the second and fifth floors of the Bernsen Building. We also provide a week-long, full-day summer session at the end of July.

Value is very different from circumstance.

Masterwork Academy’s mission is to cultivate in children a love for Jesus through mastery in the arts. Together, we learn we are one community, neighbors who love one another and have a place together in the body of Christ. Value is very different from circumstance. Masterwork students learn to see and interpret the beauty of God’s creation—including the beauty He crafted into each of them.

Masterwork needs volunteers support in our classrooms, preparing snacks and administrative tasks. If you’re interested in learning more, please email create@masterworkacademy.org, or call 918-370-0207 or contact Jenette McEntire at jmcentire@masterworkacademy.org.
