Who We Are

Piercing Word is a group of theatre professionals who are passionate about coming alongside Christian Leaders to help them artistically engage their people with the Word of God. We perform Scripture in dramatic and musical productions that are word-for-word from the Bible and we equip the Church in the art of Bible memorization through our Warriors of the Word resources. We are a full-time, non-profit, theatre ministry based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, touring across the country at churches, conferences, colleges, special events and more. Contact our team to see what Scripture Performances we have available that could complement your service or event today!

Mission and Vision

We seek to ignite passion for the Word of God in the heart of the Church. We do this by engaging people with live Scripture Performances, challenging everyone to memorize God’s Word for themselves, and equipping the Church with resources for Bible memorization and study.

If you have an opportunity to have Piercing Word perform at your church you will not be disappointed.

Pastor Kevin Merritt

The excellence with which the production was presented was outstanding, and it was the highest attended Sunday.

Pastor Eric Diewald

This is a professional dramatic ensemble with a passion for God and His Word. Highly recommended!!

Pastor Kevin Merritt

It was amazing how linking drama and Scripture spoke in ways beyond a simple reading.

Pastor Lee K. Nanfelt, Valley View Alliance Church

Seriously, we were totally blessed by your professionalism and proficiency.

Pastor Sean Roche

Seeing the Scripture performed really stirs my own affections for the Scriptures and particularly my desire to want to know God’s Word so well that I want to memorize it.

Pastor Eric Diewald

I would definitely recommend Piercing Word to any pastor, any Christian ministry leader that’s out there.

Pastor Sam Furches

I was totally blown away.

Piercing Word Values

The Word of God

We believe God speaks through His Word.  This is why all of our live Scripture performances are word-for-word from the Bible.  We seek to always be true to the Biblical intent of the passages through proper Bible study and exegesis.

The Local Church

We believe the local Church is God’s design for cultivating spiritual growth.  This is why we strive to come alongside Christian leaders in engaging, encouraging, and equipping the people of God.

Artistry

We believe that God has given creativity and storytelling as powerful tools for ministry.  This is why we strive to always use artistic excellence in highlighting the truths of God’s Word in relatable ways. 

Authenticity

We believe that we are ordinary people connecting others to an extraordinary God.  This is why we strive to do everything with humility and authenticity for the glory of God.

Spiritual Growth

We believe that all Christians should be growing more and more into the image of Christ. This is why we strive to encourage everyone, everywhere we go, to take intentional next steps in cultivating their walk with God. We also strive to equip the Church and individuals with resources to aid in the memorization and study of God’s Word.
