Exist Fine Arts

April 29 & 30 Exist Youth gathered at Calvary Christian Center in Ormond Beach to participate in the annual Fine Arts competition for Florida's Assembly of God youth.  The district had more than 1300 participants and 1800 entries.  52 Exist students participated in several categories ranging from puppetry to digital photography. This event showcases a wide variety of talents and encourages students to embrace and use their God given abilities.  All of our students were superior in our eyes, however in the judges view a few excelled beyond measure among their peers.
