Jody Thomae

Creative Arts Director
jody@5stones.org

Jody currently serves as Creative Arts Director at 5 Stones Community Church, where she coordinates artistic involvement in church services through dance, drama and fine arts. She leads a worship dance ministry combining church members and Ashland University students. She has had the opportunity to perform, teach, choreograph, speak, coordinate and lead workshops in the area of worship dance throughout the region and also in Barcelona, Spain. She is currently writing a devotional book that will serve as a resource guide to Christian artists. Having been involved in worship ministry since 1997, she also leads worship at church, seminars and women’s events.

Her passion is for the revelation of God to be made more real through the prophetic use of the arts in church and formational ministry. It is her desire to portray the message of Christ’s desperate and unfailing love for His people to help sustain the hearts of the broken and weary. She is particularly interested in the way in which God uses the arts to bring formational development and healing to His children through embodied prayer.
