Our Visual Faith Team created 32 examples of Visual Faith Experiences for you to download and use with your own ministry groups. Use these exercises as a full series of programs or for specific and thematic lessons throughout the year! Download the PDFs below to use and explore a new way to have a faith forming conversation with our Visual Faith Images.
In light of the recent shifts in churches moving to online learning and communities, we wanted to make Visual Faith more accessible and find a way for churches to use this idea in their online gatherings. We created a How to Use Visual Faith on Online Platforms with links and instructions for leaders to use images, like the ones found on our database, as a way to engage group discussion online.
