Stagelight Actor's Fellowship - 2026 Gatherings

July’s StageLight gathering took a fun turn with a good old-fashioned potluck cookout in celebration of the Fourth of July. Actors gathered to share a meal, mingle, and enjoy some time together outside of the usual rhythms of work and the industry.

With plenty of food, conversation, and a few games and prizes, the afternoon was a relaxed opportunity to build community and simply have fun together. It was a great reminder that fellowship can be as simple as sharing a meal and enjoying one another’s company.

In June, StageLight gathered Christian actors for a time of connection, encouragement, and fellowship. The group created space for actors at different stages of their careers to build relationships, strengthen their faith, and talk about what it means to pursue their calling in the entertainment industry.

Led by Joel McCrary, the gathering offered a meaningful opportunity to connect with others who share a desire to bring excellence, truth, and faith into their work.

In May, StageLight hosted another impactful gathering, bringing together a growing community of Christian actors committed to both their craft and their faith. The evening was marked by a strong sense of unity and openness, as attendees engaged in conversation, shared experiences, and encouraged one another in their journeys.

Following a time of fellowship and connection, the group moved into guided discussion and small group prayer, creating space for honest dialogue and spiritual support. The night closed with a time of corporate prayer, reinforcing the group’s shared vision to see God move in and through actors across the entertainment industry. Participants left feeling uplifted, inspired, and more deeply connected to both community and calling.

In March, StageLight gathered once again for an evening of connection, encouragement, and shared purpose among Christian actors. The night included time for fellowship over light snacks, as attendees reconnected and welcomed new faces into the community.

The gathering created space for meaningful conversation and reflection, as actors discussed the realities of pursuing their craft while remaining grounded in their faith. Small group discussions and prayer allowed for deeper connection and mutual encouragement. The evening concluded with a time of collective prayer, leaving many feeling strengthened, supported, and reminded of their calling to impact the industry with truth and excellence.

Our StageLight Actor's Fellowship held their monthly meeting on February 5th. The evening was marked by meaningful fellowship, shared food, and an atmosphere of joy, with approximately 35–40 actors in attendance. Special guest Abbie Cobb shared about her journey as a working Christian actor in Hollywood, offering insight and encouragement to those gathered.

Attendees then broke into small groups to discuss what it means to place their confidence in Christ, creating space for personal reflection, sharing, and prayer. The group later reconvened for a final time of collective prayer to close out the night. Many participants expressed that the gathering was deeply needed and shared that they left feeling inspired, encouraged, and spiritually refreshed.
