OUR
VISION
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our vision for Manna Theatre Company. Our heart for the mission of Manna as a family is huge, but we cannot do it on our own. On this page, you will discover how you can help the vision of MTC to become a reality.
Whether you feel you can help physically, financially or in prayer, your support is a huge blessing to us and helps to continue to turn stages into altars and bring the Bible alive through the arts.
Thank you,
The Crick Family
Founders of Manna Theatre Company
The Dwelling

The Dwelling is what we dream of calling our land. We envision this property located in the West Midlands, within a 45-minute drive of our home church in the Dudley area.
​
This illustration on our website is a rough sketch depicting our vision for the land as we imagine it in our hearts.
​
Our dream is to have a creative space on approximately 3-4 acres of land. We plan to build pods that can be utilized as recording studios, music rooms, choir spaces, and dance studios.
​
As a family and mission, we aim to offer not only ongoing low-cost classes in dance, drama, and musical theatre, but also provide churches and Christian groups with venues for training and events.
​
We envision having a large performance, worship, and events barn where we can hold our evangelistic performances. Additionally, we hope to provide other Christian groups and churches with the opportunity to utilize the space for away days, training, and bringing groups to be trained by us at Manna.
​
In our dream, there is also a small cafe and bookshop where people can come to relax and enjoy each other's company. This space could be a place for parents to spend time while their children attend arts classes, or simply a venue for individuals to unwind and appreciate the surroundings.
​
We want the outdoor space to foster creativity and learning, as we believe that engaging with nature is a powerful form of creative expression. We hope to create an environment where children and families can come to learn, understand where their food comes from, and enjoy spending time together in an outdoor setting.
​
The Dwelling will also serve as a host for missions teams, providing training in using the arts to spread the Gospel. These teams will then be sent back to their communities to continue their work.
​
Furthermore, The Dwelling will also host times of worship and prayer, offering a spiritual sanctuary for individuals seeking a place of reflection and connection with their faith.
Big
Yellow
Lastly, as part of our vision as Christian workers, we have a charitable arm that aims to allocate a portion of the land for overnight, weekly, or short breaks. This space will be accessible to those who have been affected by the same diseases that our family has experienced, which was the reason for the establishment of Manna.
We desire to provide a space for respite, where individuals can come away and rest in our Big Yellow converted American Skoolie at minimal cost, while enjoying the grounds of The Dwelling.
