Frequently Asked Questions: About Us

About Us

What is FaithVisuals.com?

We're an online resource for preachers, teachers, and production teams. Here you'll find hundreds of high-quality videos, PowerPoints, and still images that can be used in sermons and projected during worship services, or incorporate them into your lessons, classes, and discussions.

The goal of FaithVisuals.com is two-fold: 1) to raise the level of visual media used in churches today, and 2) to raise the number of churches using visual media.

Visual media is an important tool to reach and teach people, and the videos, PowerPoints, and still images found on our site use compelling images in interesting ways, connect your hearers to your sermons and teaching, and, ultimately, persuades people to make life-changing decisions.

For more about the important shift to a visual culture and its effect on churches, see Visualcy, a recent article from Christianity Today.

FaithVisuals.com is created by the editors of Christianity Today International and PreachingToday.com.

What are your mission and values?

FaithVisuals.com is here to help people bring Truth into focus through visual media. We accomplish that mission through the following values:

Biblically-Based: We are committed to the inspiration and authority of the Bible. Therefore, each video seeks to draw viewers to a closer relationship with God and apply the truth of Scripture to their lives.

High-Quality: We will provide videos, PowerPoints, and still images that raise the level of visual media used in the church with the goal of reaching and teaching people the truth more effectively.

Guidance and Training: Our heart is with the local church, and we'll do what we can to train leaders and volunteers to incorporate visual media into their sermons, services, and ministries.

What kind of content will I find here?

Video illustrations: The largest of the content on FaithVisuals.com, these videos can be used in sermons and teaching to bring home the point of your message. They're compelling and high-quality.

Countdowns: Video triggers that the service is about to begin.

Loops: Background images with a continuous rotation.

Stills: Photos or graphic artwork.

Transitions: Short video bumper between segments of a service.

Worship Backgrounds: Visual elements that add impact to your worship.

As a non-profit organization, why do you charge a fee for the visual media?

Like any organization, we have costs: payments to authors, salaries for editors and programmers, lights and heat, and so on. In order to create and maintain FaithVisuals.com, we have to compensate designers and researchers, maintain computer servers, provide bandwidth, and more.

We do keep our costs to a minimum. Many websites that contain much less content than ours, charge significantly more. As a not-for-profit ministry, we charge only modest fees in order to focus on our mission: "To engage, encourage, and equip the church worldwide, sharing the depth and transforming power of the Gospel as it permeates all spheres of life."

Second, FaithVisuals.com contains dozens of videos, PowerPoints, and still images never before available online and we will be regularly adding media in the future. In order to keyword, categorize, upload, store, and stream these videos and other media, it takes significant time and money, which has to be recovered in some way.

Third, we offer all videos to be streamed for free at FaithVisuals.com and also have many samples you can download free. This helps you get a good taste of what's available on our site, and, as you know, is extremely rare in this day online.
