Entertainment Ministries:

The Beacon
The Beacon is a ministry to and for people of faith working in all aspects of entertainment. Too often we hear, 'My career doesn't understand my faith and my faith doesn't understand my career.' In the Beacon, we endeavor to integrate these worlds and support artists, agents, lawyers, execs, craft people; you name it, as we together pursue our calling here in Hollywood. One of the group's goals is to bring the relevance of a Christ-centered community to bear upon the realities of our careers in entertainment. We hope to provide support, inspiration, and experienced testimony from those seasoned in the business and their faith. Rev. Kim Dorr, the Designated Associate Pastor of Entertainment Ministries, is available for private counseling or prayer. Call the Bel Air Presbyterian Church office to schedule if you have need, (818) 788-4200.

Beacon Fellowship

Beacon Fellowship meets twice monthly. Lunch (optional) $5. Childcare provided by Hang Time II. Once a month we will have a guest speaker in, an “Inside the Beacon” type of interview with an industry professional, sharing his or her challenges, dreams and journey in the biz. The other Sunday will be spent in some theological reflection, discussion groups and prayer time.

Actors Bootcamp
Two times each year, the Beacon hosts Actors Bootcamp, where industry professionals share their expertise with us! This is an all day event where actors can enjoy panel discussions and select from a list of breakout sessions with the industry professionals each having their own focus. Past experts have included casting directors, talent representatives, voiceover talents, stunt coordinators, improv talents, and acting coaches! Look for information here or in the Bel Air Worship Bulletin as the events are scheduled.

Conversations with Consequence
Two or three times a year, The Beacon will also host a city-wide event called "Conversations with Consequence" with panel discussions or world class speakers dealing with topics that engage the culture, challenge our stereotypes, and inspire us to broaden our horizons.
