Sharing God’s Story Through Black Christian Arts
You have a story. God has given you gifts to tell it.
Testify! celebrates the creative explosion happening in Black Christianity, where artists aren’t just making beauty, they’re making witness. We’re not asking you to become something new. We’re inviting you to recognize what’s already flowing through your hands, your voice, and your imagination.
Every time you create, you’re already testifying. When your fingers find the keys, when words flow onto paper, when colors dance across canvas, when your voice lifts in song, you’re witnessing to God’s presence in your life.
This is testimony for the 21st century. Not confined to Sunday morning, not limited to spoken word, but alive in every brushstroke, every chord progression, every stitch in the quilt, every line of poetry that pours from your heart.
When we create, we echo God’s first act—bringing something beautiful into being. When we share our art, we’re sharing God’s story of creation (the spark that moves through us), hope (beauty rising from struggle), healing (community formed through shared expression), transformation (lives changed by encountering truth), and rest (the peace found in creating and being created).
Testify! doesn’t just talk about testimony – we live it. Through live events, digital storytelling, and community celebration, we’re creating spaces where your creativity and your faith speak the same language.
Your story is already being told. Your testimony is already flowing. Come celebrate how God moves through the beauty you make.
