About LAMPS

Lamps Collective is a group of professional writers, actors, and musicians whose Christian faith underpins their lives and work.

LAMPS productions seek to:

• inspire, challenge, and entertain
• provoke thought about the nature of God and life
• resource the church, refresh its members, and reach out beyond its walls.

LAMPS is an acronym which stands for Love, Acting, Music, Poetry and Stories – all things close to our hearts!
