Our story began with two young women who shared a passion for godly theater and a desire for more opportunities to use their gifts in the dramatic arts. When they struggled to find those opportunities, the Lord opened the door for something new. In 2021, 3:30 Drama Group was founded with a vision to provide Christ-centered theater experiences for local students.

With the help of a dedicated team of friends, 3:30 Drama Group presented its first production, Frozen Fire, featuring an original script and soundtrack created entirely by the team. What began as a small endeavor has since grown into a ministry that has hosted four drama camps and served more than 150 students.

Today, Julia Nelson continues to serve as Director of 3:30 Drama Group, alongside a wonderful team of individuals who share a passion for both drama and discipleship. Together, they seek to encourage students to grow not only in their theatrical abilities but also in their walk with Christ. Through rehearsals, chapel sessions, devotions, and the stories brought to life onstage, we strive to keep Christ at the center of all we do.

As 3:30 Drama Group looks to the future, its mission remains the same: to provide excellent, God-honoring theater opportunities that inspire creativity, cultivate meaningful relationships, and encourage spiritual growth. We look forward to seeing how the Lord continues to lead this ministry, one season at a time.
