Hollywood Connect serves to equip and empower Christians in the Arts, Media, and Entertainment Industry to fulfill their individual God-given calling so that Christ will be lifted up in Hollywood and the world.

Christians in the the Arts and Entertainment industry are being strategically unified unlike ever before, especially in the spiritual and professional arenas.

Our purpose is to welcome and guide Christians in the Arts, Media, and Entertainment industry by providing resources and guidance for their practical, professional, and spiritual needs.

Hollywood Connect is equipped to offer this guidance and assistance without such, Believers wanting to serve or work in the Hollywood Arts, Media, and Entertainment industry may be steered in wrong and sometimes harmful directions and miss opportunities to assimilate into supportive faith and professional communities.

Hollywood Connect believes in raising the bar for Industry Christians to compete heavily in the secular Hollywood market and to influence our culture. As Industry Christians go through Hollywood Connect, they will be better equipped to move into the secular arenas to fulfill their God-given calling.

Hollywood Connect is a unique Entertainment ministry in that we offer to our community services and resources such as orientation classes and workshops, an exhaustive web site, individual meetings, information about finding representation for their craft, a library, to name a few. Original materials of other Hollywood Entertainment organizations whose missions, purposes or beliefs consistent with those of Hollywood Connect are also available.

Our information may assist a person in finding: counseling, training, prayer, jobs, a church, networking, housing, Entertainment ministries, etc. (Although prayer will customarily be offered to the individual, Hollywood Connect is in no way a personal counseling service. Emotional and deep spiritual needs will always be referred to professionals in those areas.)

In some ways, the ministry's name directs its purposes:

• Hollywood Connect "connects" Industry Believers to people who have information on surviving the idiosyncrasies of working in a town that would sooner dash a believer's career objectives than strengthen them.
• Hollywood Connect "connects" Industry Believers to a wealth of information and resources helping to lead a person toward a healthy adjustment to community and career in Hollywood.

Our services are available to anyone who inquires, but we have targeted four main groups of people we aim to serve :

• Hollywood Connect is directed first to industry believers who are new to Los Angeles to help them become established in a Christian community quickly and seamlessly. We consider newcomers those who have just arrived and those who have been living in the area for one to three years who may not yet be aware of all the resources available to them.
• Hollywood Connect is also for veteran industry believers who may not be currently connected to the Christian community or aware of new and up-coming information in the Christian Industry community. It is also our goal to encourage veterans to connect with newcomers to offer their expertise and experience. 
• Hollywood Connect also serves Christian college students and college graduates as they make the transition from college life to Industry careers.
• Lay people of the church, pastors, and ministry leaders can utilize Hollywood Connect to promote and educate their congregations about Hollywood as a mission field and know that they have a safe place to send those from their fold who are entering Hollywood .

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

How do we move into all the world to preach the Gospel through the medium of the Arts? It is God's heart to connect the dots through relationships with each other first, then branch out through our churches, the media and effect the world.
