Good Design Matters

The Gospel is a stumbling block to some and foolishness to others. Bad graphics and design present another barrier to the Gospel.

At Design Revival, we believe good design matters. We believe that good design will remove a barrier to presenting the greatest story ever told.

By attending Design Revival conference, you will be inspired and equipped to use good design in your church to better communicate the Gospel.
