“Behold Productions/THE CORNETT FAMILY”
(Formerly Christian Woman)
Our Story
In 2005, the Lord gave John Cornett the vision of starting a Christian performing arts company/ministry specifically for Carteret County, North Carolina. During the next ten years, the prayerful process of seeking the Lord and His leading concerning the performing arts center began.
In 2017, the Lord led Allison Conner, John’s daughter, to begin utilizing her gifts of theatrical and dance arts to establish Carteret County’s Center for Christian Performing Arts and a year later, The Venue’s first concert, “Christmas with Allison Conner & Family” was presented at All Saints Anglican Church. The production was small and humble, but it opened the door for our 2019 summer concert, “Christian Woman: Be Still and Know” and many more after that. Listed below are the concerts and programs that the Venue has been able to provide for our local churches and community:
-December 2018- “Allison Conner -A Down Home Christmas” at All Saints Church
-June 2019- “Christian Woman-Be Still and Know” at All Saints Church
-December 2019- “The King is Coming” at Chapel By the Sea (CBS)

-November 2022- “Faithful God- A Harvest Concert”(Dinner & Singing) at CBS

With every new concert we continue to see the Lord grow our faith and extend our opportunities to glorify Him with the arts. We are excited for God’s plans for the future unfolding in the Body of Christ and in The Venue!
Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their labor.
