The history of Christianity belongs to everyone

Church history is nothing to be scared of. In fact, we’re convinced that when Christians discover their family history, they discover more of the wisdom, beauty and wonder of Jesus.

Because His story didn’t end with the Bible. He has been working through his people for over 2,000 years, shaping and transforming billions of lives, weaving it together into a beautiful but complicated tapestry. It’s one big family story with its highs and lows  –  and everything in between.

We started ChristianStory to tell that story. Through rigorous research, human hand-animation, and more coffee than you can imagine, we want to bring the whole family story to life.

Every video starts with months of research, then moves through storyboarding, illustration, animation, voice recording, and sound design. Watch a glimpse behind the curtain.

A Jesus-Centred Story

Despite the differences and diversity of the Church, one thing unites them all – the person of Jesus Christ. Every era, every tradition we explore is ultimately about people trying to understand who he is, what he taught, and how he shapes the way they live.

Here’s what people are saying!

This is not only the best video on the Trinity on YouTube. It’s the best presentation of the Trinity on the internet. Keep up the good work!

We need accurate and high quality Christian media in days where many people are seeking hope and truth in a turbulent world. This series is busy filling that gap.
