Inbetweeners - 2026 Gatherings

The August Inbetweeners Animation Fellowship welcomed 9 animation professionals for another evening of creative sharing, fellowship, and prayer. As part of the ongoing Animation Workshop, members shared updates on their creative projects and received encouragement and prayer from the group.

Everyone enjoyed fellowship over delicious California Chicken Cafe wraps, and the evening concluded with one-on-one prayer and personal prayer requests.

The July Inbetweeners Animation Fellowship brought together 11 animation professionals for continued fellowship, creativity, and prayer. Members continued the Animation Workshop, sharing progress on their creative projects and receiving prayer and encouragement from the group.

Fellowship took place over delicious California Chicken Cafe wraps before the meeting wrapped up with one-on-one prayer and personal prayer requests.

The June Inbetweeners Animation Fellowship brought together 14 animation professionals for fellowship, conversation, and prayer. The evening included a panel discussion on the spiritual implications of AI in the Animation Industry, a timely topic for members navigating the impact of this new technology. Over California Chicken Cafe wraps, members connected before closing with one-on-one prayer and personal prayer requests.

May’s gatherings featured continued project sharing and collaboration through the group’s ongoing Animation Workshop. Members presented creative work, participated in brainstorming and feedback sessions, and celebrated progress on projects in development. Together, the community continued to create a space where artists could be encouraged, challenged, and supported in both their craft and their faith.

In April, Inbetweeners continued its mission of equipping and encouraging creatives through both virtual and in-person gatherings. Members shared updates on their work, participated in project discussions, and offered support and prayer for one another’s creative and professional pursuits. The month highlighted the value of community in the creative process.

Our March gathering was a sweet and creative night together, with 8 people in attendance. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we spent time singing the Irish hymn Be Thou My Vision, which set a meaningful tone for the evening.

We also played a really fun and creative game called 100 Blank Cards, where everyone made up and drew their own cards before playing—it ended up being a huge hit and brought a lot of laughter and connection.

We shared fellowship over dinner together and closed out the night with one-on-one prayer, taking time to lift up individual requests.

It was a simple but rich evening, full of creativity, connection, and meaningful prayer.

The Inbetweeners Animation Fellowship held their first meeting of 2026 on January 20th. The gathering was well attended, with 25 participants present. The group enjoyed a time of fellowship over good food, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

A highlight of the evening was a live Zoom interview with legendary animator Tony Bancroft, who joined remotely from his home in Tennessee. His insights and experiences provided meaningful encouragement and inspiration to those in attendance.
