Artist's Studio Featuring Potter, Videographer & Lay Speaker, Keith Carpenter |
Keith Carpenter Ministry
As a motivational speaker for churches, conventions, children and youth
camps, Keith shares his personal faith and wisdom through his art. Keith has
been “Chalking Up One For The Lord” on his drawing board for more than 26 years
with over 2000 drawings accomplished to date. These messages feature powerful
musical scores with narration and usually follow one of Keith’s dynamic vocal
presentations of the Gospel. Keith also teaches advanced Chalk Art Classes in
Texas every January.
The presentation doesn’t stop with chalk, Keith’s sermon on the potter’s wheel,
“The Chosen Vessel” is yet another way He uses his talent to bring forward the
message of grace and restoration to this generation. Both above presentations
can be scheduled by reservation at the studio (sometimes with a dinner meal
included). Keith can also bring the message to your church or other location.

Keith Carpenter is not only a wedding videographer, advertising
professional, and beloved local potter; Keith takes his life ministry on the
road to bring motivational and spiritual guidance to church groups,
conventions, children and youth groups. Keith began his lay ministry at the age
of 34 with a special calling to work and witness through art and personal
faith. By faith, Keith signed up for a class taught by Ding Teuling and Larry
Sinclair. Each of these accomplished Christian artists made a profound difference
in the kind of chalk art witness Keith would become.
Keith’s service to the Lord
has taken him as far away as Moscow, but most of his work is done within 300
miles of home in Fulton, Mississippi. He now books more than 55 engagements a
year, some lasting as long as a week and others just for one night.
Keith also teaches advanced students chalk art composition and idea creation.
This fast paced class is usually held each year in Gladewater, TX. and attracts
students from across the country who are looking to improve their ministry
effectiveness by creating better pictures for their sermons.
