The Spirit of God is loving, caring, compassionate and kind – and yet, at the same time, wild, bold, extravagant, unpredictable and passionate. The Spirit is at home in Rosebud, bounding through the coulees like a lion and touching hearts with every pounce. Regardless of your background, you will discover and experience the Spirit of God in a way that you never have before.

The artists and instructors of Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts recognize that their deepest source of inspiration springs from their relationship with Christ and have found the arts to be a powerful vehicle for expressing faith.

RTSA is an open-faith community that welcomes people from a broad range of traditions. If your spirit longs for a place to call home, we invite you to join us in seeking out Truth, living in love, and finding a spiritual home in the compassionate heart of God.


Faith and Training
‍
Rosebud School of the Arts is not a Bible College and does not offer theological training. However, students are encouraged in the lifelong integration of faith and art through numerous connecting points, some of which include:  

Chapel
Staff and students meet for one hour per week to enjoy rest, connection, and sharing personal stories of life and faith.

Classes
Faith is integrated into every class at Rosebud School of the Arts; however, a few classes have a specific focus, such as REL 121 Christianity and the Arts (Theatre Foundations), THR 235 Drama Ministry (Theatre Foundations), and REL 321 Faith and Art (Mentorship).

Additional classes may be offered based on interest: REL 110 Introduction to Spiritual Formation, REL 120 Topics in Spiritual Formation, and REL 322 Topics in Theology and Art.

Church
Rosebud Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada and is a strong supporter of RTSA. The church offers a true community experience with many different denominations represented in its members and plenty of opportunity for participation in worship and ministry.

Students are encouraged to attend and contribute to a local church, whether that is Rosebud Church or another denomination in a nearby town (Carbon, Drumheller, Rockyford, Standard, and Strathmore).
