Creativity Heals. Community Restores. Hope Takes Shape.

We help people discover their creative voice and identity through art, community, and meaning-making rooted in the life, love, and teachings of Jesus.

Creative Experiences That Transform Lives

Athentikos designs immersive creative experiences that meet people where they are — whether they come to give, receive, or often, discover both.

Through guided artmaking, shared story, and intentional community, we help individuals and communities:

Reclaim their creative voice
Process pain and trauma in healthy ways
Discover identity rooted in love and purpose
Experience meaningful connection across cultures and backgrounds

WHO WE SERVE

Creatives

Artists, makers, storytellers, and creative thinkers who sense that creativity is tied to faith, identity, and purpose even if they don’t yet have the language for it.

Communities

Youth, families, and under-resourced communities seeking dignity, voice, healing, and hope through creative expression.

Partners

Individuals, churches, donors, and organizations who believe transformation happens through relationship, not formulas.

Creativity as Worship, Healing, and Justice

For over a decade and a half, Athentikos has walked alongside communities, using creativity as a bridge to healing, identity, and connection.

Our impact is measured not only in numbers, but in stories:

Stories of reclaimed voice
Stories of restored dignity
Stories of communities choosing hope together

Creativity is healing

Empower change, inspire hope, and transform lives through the power of art.

"Thank you for giving our girls home in Guatemala the opportunity to be creative! It was a great experience for all 50 girls!"

"Being a participant in several of the workshops changed the way I see myself and the world around me."

The online workshops inspired me to be brave and jump out to do a creative journaling workshop with a homeless ministry in my area.

I love the variety of workshops and always look forward to what is coming next!

Thank you for stretching me way outside my comfort zone! I never felt capable when it came to art. Through these workshops, I gained some skill and the confidence to try. The workshops have been so fun and therapeutic!
