About Passion is Powerful
Our mission is to instill passion and purpose in girls through adventures in music & art
Passion is Powerful is the girls' wing of the Academy. Its unique programming is designed to help girls grow in leadership, confidence, inclusivity and faith. Our session's enriching themes are taught through fun adventures with music, art, dance, singing, sewing, cooking and more. Every session is unique. We never do the same thing twice! It's kind of like a birthday party field-trip program for girls where they grow deeper in their relationship with God, outside of the church and home, alongside an awesome group of friends.
​
Groups meet weekly for 12 sessions per season. There are two consecutive seasons of programming per year for a total of 24 sessions from August through May. Our sessions are held in various indoor and outdoor locations around town. Participants are dropped off outside of the Shasta Mall at our meeting place where we kick off our sessions together and then head to a different outdoor or indoor location each week. Transportation is offered for every session to make drop-off and pick-up easy.

Mission Statement
We exist to ignite passion & purpose in girls through adventures in music and art.
Vision Statement
We believe we can give girls a better chance to live a powerful life of passion and purpose by equipping them to know their God-given identity, modeling what faith looks like in every-day real-life situations outside the home and beyond the walls of the church, and encouraging them to push past fear and big emotions to discover strength, courage, hope and authenticity.
Our Philosophy
We believe that God is an artist. He created us to be creative and to use our creativity to bring His kingdom to earth. When we partner with the Holy Spirit in our artistic expression, we create things that change the world around us in the best way. We have an opportunity to raise our girls with the understanding that their gifts, abilities, beauty, creative voice, and powerful ideas were put in them by design by God their creator. What they create with God is always unto a purpose; art is meant to serve, inspire, lead, empower, educate, and equip believers, as well as reach the lost, hungry, broken and forgotten people in the world.
Core Values
Passion
God created us with a dream in our hearts and as we pursue him, his fire stirs in us the passion to powerfully pursue our destiny.
Purpose
When we serve others with our gifts & creativity, we live in alignment with the design God has for our life, and this brings joy & purpose.
Perspective
We are curious about life and God's creation. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us with empathy, forgiveness, and strategies for love in tough situations.
Process
We are patient and practice faith while God develops our character through situations & friendships that challenge us.
Purity
We are pure because Jesus makes us pure. We make choices that protect our body, mind and heart from being polluted by sin, temptation, anger & unforgiveness.
Participation
We take risks, make mistakes, and get messy as we try new things and discover the process of making things beautiful.
Power
True leadership means knowing how to use our words powerfully with bold love, respecting boundaries (our own and others') and serving the greater good.
"Perfection"
We love how God made us. God didn't make mistakes when he formed our body, shape, emotions, and beauty. We are perfect in his eyes & are always being perfected according to His love.
