Drama scripts for Baptist Church

[dreebel]

Hello! My name is Derran Reebel. This is my first post on this website so bear with me if I missed my answer somewhere else. I am a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo Ohio. We are in between head pastors right now so I'm not even sure WHO to broach this topic with at my church although I have been told it was the Music Pastor.

Anyway, awhile ago we used to have drama in the church ministry. It is an effective and awesome way to expand on God's teachings and I'd like to see it happen again at our church.

I want to have access to a few quality scripts before officially hitting up the Music Pastor with the suggestion of doing it as well as possibly leading that ministry.

Can anyone on here suggest to me a place to access some church drama scripts that would be appropriate for a baptist church? Prefer something free or as a trial before investing money into it.

Thanks,
Derran Reebel

Try anything by Willow Creek Community Church. I believe they have books of them at Lifeway (formerly Baptist Book Store, so that makes them Baptist acceptable right?). It depends on your church, but I'd feel comfortable recommending anything that they've written.

Derran, Welcome to CMN. Its a great place.

The absolute best place for drama scripts is

Oh and its free.

Lillenasdrama.com is good. There's a free script every month. We've done several at our church. Lots of previews and all are downloadable.

HI Darren, Welcome to CMN, I'll second Lillenas. Everything I've ever seen from them has been top notch. You might also contacr Brandon Waltz at Cedarville University and see if he'd let you use any of the Life Action Players stuff.

Thanks to everyone so far for the posts and advice on where to go! I never even thought of checkin with my old school Cedarville University but that's a good idea Phil! lol... Anyway, all I need now is to get my music pastor to agree to do some dramas... He seemed reluctant yesterday when I mentioned it to him... He seems reluctant because we are in between pastors and figures unless the new Pastor we eventually end up with likes dramas, we might not be able to do them anyway. Personally I think it's hogwash that a pastor could come to your church and do away with a ministry just because he doesnt like it!

We always use Willowcreek, Saddleback, and Lillenas. The more you look around on the net you'll come across various sites with scripts and/or free scripts. Willowcreek is nice as they put them all out in topic form. So if you are looking for a drama on lets say relationships you can search and find some.

For our adult drama - we only do an Easter presentation.
Our director - music director - will adapt two or three different sources together in order to keep a good story line going as well as be able to adapt to our traditional sanctuary, in which our pastor allows us to build sets upon. I'll see if I can post some photos of our stage.
This past Easter, we used "One Voice" and "The Choice" as our sources. We do this with permission from the publishers as well.

I've used churchscripts.com and have found some good ones. We even made a few videos based on them.
