Use your church building to tell the story of the Bible

Published on: 14 October 2019

This trail uses pictures in church windows, carvings and decorations around the church to help visitors explore the story of Christianity through the Bible.

It has been developed by the Children, Youth & Families team using seven concepts which encapsulate the Christian story. The CYF team are offering a free design service to churches for you to use it in your own church.

All you need to do is take seven photos around your church which fit the themes of

  • Creation
  • Fall
  • People of God
  • Incarnation
  • Gospel
  • Salvation
  • The Kingdom of God.

As illustrated in the template, along with the name of your church and a logo if you have one. We will then design the trail using your photos and logo and send you six laminated copies for you to have in your church for visitors. Please send your images to the Children, Youth & Families team.
