What is the Middle Kingdom Guild?
God, as Creator, has instilled in his creation similar attributes of creativity. The Middle Kingdom Guild is a place for our citizens to share with others the creative gifts and talents God has put in each of us. The Guild consists of 3 main groups covering a range of creative expression. Read below for the specifics of each.
