Visit Visual Story Network

The Visual Story Network is a coalition of missional and creative Christians working together to fuel a global movement of visual story for the kingdom of God. We live in a transitional time in the history of the Church. We believe a great opportunity exists to move beyond preach and print to portray. When God’s people consistently create and share visual stories in culturally compelling ways with every person on the earth so people can experience life-change through Jesus a movement will have occurred. We define visual story as combining narrative and visual media in communicating the message of Christ and His kingdom.

Through this online community we seek to...
1. Advocate for the need for visual story
2. Provide opportunities to connect and collaborate
3. Promote best practices and products
4. Equip God’s people to create and use visual story
