Step 1: Relax & Get to Know Us
Welcome home to the Christian Publishing Portal (CPP).
This is our story, and we hope it will become part of yours!
Can You Relate to This?
Christian authors, artists, screenwriters, filmmakers, and other creatives want to honor God with their talents, but many secular companies, mentors, and training venues don't share their faith, values, or worldview.
Christian creatives are often left with the choice to either leave their faith at the door or be treated as an outcast - or worse if they stand fast. Some days they feel like a fish out of water, flopping around trying to breathe, while inwardly longing for a way to excel in their craft and honor God with their creative talents.
There must be other Christian creatives who feel the same way we do . . . but where?
Would You Like to Experience This?
The Christian Publishing Portal (CPP) is a global community of Christian creatives dedicated to helping one another excel at their craft for the express purpose of honoring God with their lives and the creative talents God has given them.
The CPP's mission is simple: (1) teach Christian creatives everything they need to know to create, publish, market, and sell Christian titles themselves (DIY) with excellence, and (2) provide access to a CPP network of trusted Christian service providers they can call on to help with all or part of their publishing effort/s, if needed.
We understand WHO you are, WHOSE you are & WHY you want to honor God with your creative talents. Welcome to the CPP.
Do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
- Romans 12:2 NKJV
