My dream is to create a welcoming environment that values excellence; a place where students and actors feel loved, safe, and accepted. Over the past 21 years, Cavod has grown to over 1400 enrollments and has expanded our offerings well beyond what I could have even hoped or imagined! In fact, our 2025-2026 school year has a two million dollar operating budget! As Cavod grows, so does the opportunity for our financial partners. We thank you greatly for your consideration to partner with us! Together, we can impact the community and beyond, You are an important part of the Cavod family to “create with purpose” to bring redemption, freedom, and the presence of the Lord that changes lives, Thank you, thank you! May the Lord richly bless you, beyond what you can ask or think! That is our God!

Cavod is truly my home away from home. It’s a place that I can be myself and at home.

– Gracelyn Fulmer, Dancer

I’ve been around many different theater companies, but I’ve never felt the love and the energy reciprocated the way I feel at Cavod. It’s a different energy that I’ve felt here. It’s impact my heart, my faith, and just the way I’ve seen life and the way I approach things.

– Mitch King, Actor

The teachers are so nice and so lively. If you mess up, they’ll walk you through everything and you really feel encouraged.

– Simon Herring, Dancer

Impact of Cavod

Our mission is to offer a Godly environment that inspires excellence in the arts, builds community, and impacts lives. We have been able to reach those in Lancaster and the surrounding counties by drawing in many families to our studio. Cavod is known as a safe haven for learning to many who desire a studio that honors Christ in their teachings. Our performing companies also touch the community through their outreach at community events, nursing homes, homeless shelters, and other opportunities.

Our dance classes challenge students to achieve a standard of excellence in a safe and loving environment.
Students make life-long friendships with other believers and learn to encourage and uplift each other as they go through their formative years.
Our music classes and vocal ensembles teach students how to use their God-given abilities to continuously elevate and reflect Christ.
Teachers mentor students who desire to grow in their faith along with their artistry. Many students take on roles in various ministries and become mentors themselves.
Our theatre classes as well as Cavod Theatre give actors young and old an opportunity to be creative while honoring their Creator.
Families find a strong and loving community who support them in struggles and rejoice with them in victories.
