Projects by Collage Artists

Since 2003, each year at Belhaven University has been shaped by a “Verse of the Year,” selected to guide and encourage the campus community. For more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege of writing an original song each year based on that verse. As Belhaven’s artist-in-residence, these songs have become part of our shared spiritual life—sung in chapel, remembered by alumni, and carried forward into churches and ministries.

This year, we will finish recording a collection of about a dozen of these songs for the first time. The project reflects their range and use: some are reflective listening pieces, others choral, and many fully singable for congregational worship.

Today, a collection of those songs have been released for the first time — not for profit, but for worship: helping Scripture take root, serving the church, and telling a uniquely Belhaven story. To complete the recording, prepare future releases, and provide streaming, CDs, and printed music, we are finishing our fundraising.
