What is Aeternus?

What is Aeternus?

ae-ter-nus

eternal, everlasting (latin origin)

Aeternus Games Summit is to embolden and equip Christians working in the games industry through fellowship, craft excellence, and innovation. If you are a games professional who loves Jesus…this is your gathering.

We’re bringing together developers, artists, designers, writers, producers, and visionary leaders who refuse to compartmentalize their faith and their craft. Whether you feel like the only believer in your studio, carry a burning vision to create games that point people to the heart of God, or simply want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with others who get it - this is for you.

Here we will pray together, sharpen one another in craft & calling, challenge low expectations of Christian media, confront fears of rapid technological change, and dream about the future of interactive storytelling.

In this challenging moment in our industry's history, it can be easy to lose heart. But the Holy Spirit is alive, welling up as a spring of water. Let's fix our eyes on what's eternal!

This is church.
This is thought leadership.
This is the drinking of Living Water.
