For over 23 years, we’ve connected people from around the world through Christ and game-making.

Why a Christian Game Developers Conference?

Christians often seek out our community because they feel a profound calling to create games. Most Christian game developers have a vision for impacting the world through the games they’re creating. But these developers also tell us they feel lonely, isolated, and disconnected. We believe everyone’s work improves when we spend time together, sharing our passion and passing on the knowledge we’ve gained through our experiences. 


The friendships forged at the annual Christian Game Developers Conference have resulted in the formation of studios and the development of countless games. We are all better together, and the annual in-person conference gives us a chance to reconnect with old friends, make a few new ones, and call each other higher as we share what we’ve been working on. We hope you’ll come see what it’s all about. We can’t wait to meet you!
