About Us
We are a part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), which is often called a “big tent.” This means there are lots of different kinds of churches under this one umbrella. Church of the Arts is in the progressive category, which means everyone is welcome!
Meet the Pastor
Rev. Tricia Petraven
Tricia Petraven is an artist and a former scenic designer for the stage, who became a pastor as a second career. She believes in using our creativity and imagination to make art that points us to Jesus and helps us see God’s love.
Our Story
Church of the Arts is being planted by the Charleston Atlantic Presbytery as part of the new church development program. Church of the Arts will share a building with the presbytery and use the sanctuary that is part of that space, which is a former church. The concept for a Church of the Arts is partly due to the vision of the pastor, Rev. Tricia Petraven, who is an artist and a former scenic designer for the stage.
