Be creative. Be faithful.

Brehm exists to see a better integration of worship, theology, and the arts for the renewal of church and culture.

Equipping Artists & Ministry Leaders for Impact

Moving the worship and arts conversation from research to resources to real life, our center exists to equip artist and ministry leaders for a changing culture, whether in the classroom, the studio, or the pulpit. We offer events, resources, and cohorts, as well as Masters degree programs.

The retreats have been beautifully structured, and I have looked forward to each one. Having access to both a therapist and a spiritual director was a gift.
