Create for the Kingdom is a special Code for the Kingdom event in Austin, TX. It expands the weekend to include Filmmakers and Game Developers along with the traditional Hackathon-ers. During this weekend there will be a Game Jam, Film Challenge and Hackathon, each with prizes (check them out below). We encourage collaboration between all of the disciplines for the purposes of building a long-term ecosystem where global issues are tackled from a Creative Christian perspective. While this event is from a Christian perspective, we invite everyone, regardless of worldview, to join us in solving these large challenges. 

“How can all Creatives help alleviate and eradicate injustice, teach God’s unconditional love and build a healthier and stronger society?” That is the question we will answer at Create for the Kingdom.

Join us this September, to foster visionary creatives to create new mediums to transform lives through a holistic Christian approach that combats social injustice, creates a culture of generosity, facilitates spiritual justice and unleashes the fullest capacity of each individual.

The weekend event will focus the passion, purpose, and creativity of our entrepreneurial and creative community, connecting incredible innovators with organizations, and initiatives that need their talent.
