OUR MISSION
We exist to engage the world with the love of Jesus and the truth of His Word through art in all its forms. Bella Folk is a 501(c)(3) ministry committed to gathering creatives to teach, preach, and make disciples of the Messiah Yeshua.
​
“Every time sons and daughters of the Most High God set their hearts and hands to create, a physical expression of Heaven is released on the earth. The creative works flowing from our redeemed natures become invitations, doorways, portals into tangible experiences with the wonder, the beauty and the love that is God. They have the power to awaken people’s hearts, to open people’s minds and to lift the scales off their eyes.”
—Jeremy Riddle, Cultivate Vol. 4, Creativity Unlocked

What People Are Saying! ​
​
"Thank you Natalie for a beautifully written and wonderfully illustrated children's book that will surely speak to adults as much as it speaks to children. All God's commandments for us emanate from His love for us, and we are greatly blessed when we take them into our hearts and follow them. Your book calls all of us as God's children to enjoy His rest as it is the best day of the week." --- Dr William Brown, Professor at Regent University, Author, Elder, and retired missionary to Asia

Who we are
Bella Folk is a community of Jesus people. We have obeyed the call to "pick up the plow" as creators, and fully utilize our gifts for the Kingdom of God. Founded by actress, writer, director, Natalie Wenninger, what began as a blog about Biblical living has burgeoned into a multifaceted ministry of the arts with the gospel at its core. Our team is passionate about cultivating authentic-relationship with the God of Abraham and worshiping Him in spirit and truth. We are committed to creating experiences in the arts that reveal both God's heart toward His people, and what it looks like to follow Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
The world is longing for connection with the living God
At the heart of Bella Folk is the desire to bring people into an encounter with the life-changing presence of God through His anointing on the creative arts.
