Problems: Christian Creatives were designed, through Beauty, to connect us with God, our own story, each other, and a hurting world.
They are often tethered to client work, hustling, disconnected, unsupported, and absorbed in work that, sometimes, but rarely, exposes Heaven and the transformative "Word of the Testimony".
Good Works require Creatives to Help Tell the Story, but the awareness of Christian Creatives doesn't yet exist
Creatives, trusting in God's, can lean in to other creatives in the same discipline, become friends, encourage, and support them - showcasing relationally God's abundance.
"We Overcome through the Word of the Testimony"
Solution: A Thriving Christian Creatives Network where every creative is connected to others in friendship, craft, and mission.
Strategy:
Map Christian Creatives, Organizations, and Agencies
Annually attend "Created Conference" in Columbus on Saturday, September 27th, 2025.
Gather bi-annually for a shared celebration with worship, testimonies, and time for connecting.
Meet 1-2 times a month with a small group to grow in friendship, leveling up on one's craft and business, and God's mission for you.

Other Project and Network Ideas:
Host group gatherings by medium
Interconnect with frontline workers around passion cause or project
Explore collaborative visions and projects
Begin showcasing project ideas for Church crowd-sourcing, foundations, businesses, congregations, and non-profits, etc.

Creatives (noun): All people who manipulate sensory mediums to influence our world for the better. Creatives are story-tellers, beauty-makers, transcendence-guides, reality-confronters, and so much more.
