January and February may be off season for Branson, but these two months are choked with activity around the Creation Experience Museum. This year was no exception. We completed several major renovations to better serve our guests, aid
our staff, and communicate our message of the trustworthiness of the Bible and of the foundation Genesis is to the Gospel.
Our theater room has served us very well over the past 11 years. Not only is it a powerful part of our tours where we share high-quality media about how true science supports the Bible, it is also a key gathering place for when school groups visit the museum. To enhance this educational experience we completely repainted the room, revamped the featured exhibits, and added our King George and the Dragon mural to where our guests will make the connection with dragons and dinosaurs more readily.
An area of suggestion we sometimes hear from guests about our current location is keeping the attention of young children. While the new museum will include many features to appeal to all ages, we still desire to engage our youngest guests with the truth of Scripture. Now one of our interns-turned-staff member has made that desire a reality for 2025! From the beginning of the tour, children participate in a scavenger hunt highlighting different facts about the Bible and science hidden throughout the museum. It has already been a tremendous hit and is yet another avenue for us to present our mission to ALL guests.
In addition to the scavenger hunt, we also revamped one of our shadow boxes. We have included these eye-level children’s exhibits, and this one is bound to be a favorite.
One of our staff members in particular has been hard at work researching, designing, and printing new and improved signage for the entire museum. This not only gives the exhibits a fresh, clean, updated look, but also includes new, cutting edge information since we first opened our Branson location. Our signs now also correspond to our ministry colors and font, which raises the entire tour to a uniform and higher professional level.
Among these innovative changes, maintenance work was also completed like painting the welcome and check out counter and installing new ceiling fans.
While we continue to seek the Lord’s provision and timing for the new museum, we’re also seeking His direction for being good stewards of what He HAS given us. We have seen over and over again how little is indeed much when God is in it, and are continually amazed how He is impacting men, women, teens, and children right where we are right now. Thank you for being part of His work; all of our forward progress would not be possible without you!
We’ve all been asked the question. “Why does God allow evil in the world?” But there is another side to that question, a query that cannot be addressed by logic, history, or facts. It’s the heart behind the question, often a bruised heart deeply wounded by evil, loss, or betrayal.
We pay tribute to one of the fathers of the modern Creation movement. Here is a look at his life, influences, and how he contributed to the battle for Genesis.
We’ve seen a lot of popularity growth in the Flat Earth Theory, and its proponents try to tie themselves to Creationism. Here is a Christian response to these efforts.
In the previous month of Creation Matters, we examined answers to the question “How do we know Genesis (and for that matter the entire Old Testament) has been accurately preserved to our time?” In this article, we will unpack a very, very brief overview of the scientific and scholarly side of this question, touching on early manuscripts, scribal practice, and ancient witnesses to the O.T. text.
