OPEN MIC’S & STAGED PRODUCTIONS

A Platform for Healing, Expression, and Community Unity

P.O.E.M.S. Spoken Word Ministries hosts dynamic Open Mic Forums and Staged Productions that offer powerful spaces for authentic expression, emotional release, and spiritual connection. These events are more than performances—they are healing gatherings where voices rise, stories matter, and communities come together in truth, faith, and fellowship.

Through the art of spoken word poetry, we create safe, inclusive environments where participants of all backgrounds are encouraged to share their stories, struggles, victories, and vision. Rooted in our belief that every voice has value, these gatherings provide an open platform for creative expression infused with spiritual insight and personal growth.

What to Expect

Open Mic Forums

Our open mics are community-centered events where individuals are invited to speak from the heart—whether through poetry, testimony, music, or storytelling. These welcoming spaces uplift voices that are often unheard, offering an outlet for youth, creatives, and those in reentry or recovery to reflect, connect, and inspire.

Staged Productions

Our staged spoken word performances are curated showcases that combine poetry, music, visual art, and movement to explore themes of faith, justice, identity, trauma, and healing. These productions are deeply moving and often spiritually transformative, sparking important conversations and fostering a deeper sense of empathy and understanding.

Why It Matters
  • Heals and Uplifts: Sharing stories through spoken word can break emotional chains, reduce isolation, and build personal confidence.

  • Builds Community: Our events cultivate belonging and understanding across generations, cultures, and experiences.

  • Centers Faith: Every event is grounded in the belief that the Holy Word can guide, restore, and renew through creative expression.

  • Promotes Inclusion: We intentionally celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring all voices are welcomed and valued.
