With Easter just around the corner, I thought it was a great time to recommend Faithvisuals, another excellent source of multi-media resources designed for churches. I've been reading their newsletters for the last year and I am regularly impressed with the consistency of the quality of their products. They offers a wide range of multi-media visuals to add into your church services.
Faithvisuals is easy to navigate and includes everything from a technical questions link to how to create a viral video; See how one church created a viral video phenomenon with a parody of Apple's Mac vs. PC commercials. They offer stills, videos, loops, worship backgrounds and teaching clips (i.e. - Tony Evans and Elisabeth Elliot)
For more about the important shift to a visual culture and its effect on churches, see Andy Crouch's recent article, Visualcy, from Christianity Today.
FaithVisuals is created by the editors of Christianity Today International and Preaching Today.

Cynthia, that’s a great write-up for FaithVisuals, I’m going to let Cory Whitehead know about your post — he’s one of the people driving the site at Christianity Today International, a good friend of mine and a former co-worker.
I helped in a few small ways to get this site launched, and it’s one of CTI’ first forays into the multimedia world of the Web. Actually, it’s the second attempt, the first one, CTCourses.com, failed due to lack of market interest. We’re all hoping this one does spectacularly well in a field with some big competitors. But I think CTI can combine a better content platform (articles) and community (with blogs) than some of the other sites.
NB: I am a former employee of CTI and do not benefit from any mention of FV or any other CTI property. I’m still just a big fan.
