Overview

Whether you realize it or not, your church's design choices—your stage design, your presentations, and your website—are saying something. What is your church saying? Good design shows us what the truth looks like. It visually communicates your message and clearly expresses your church. So what if your staff isn’t concerned about design, or you’re not a designer? Called to Create equips your church to discover why good theology deserves good design and tap into the creativity God has gifted your community

“Bad design is ‘like great lyrics sung out of tune. No one is hearing the words as they were intended to be heard.” (Page 2)

“Good design isn’t about making pretty pictures. It’s about aligning what you say with how you say it to show the truth.” (Page 3)

“The weight of truth called for weighty art. They cared about beauty in communicating truth. High theological concepts deserve high design.’” (Page 5)

“sermon or while someone is talking, motion graphics are almost guaranteed to be distracting.” (Page 7)
