What we Believe
Our Faith and Mission.
About Us
Thank you for wanting to know more about us, and for visiting with us. You're so welcome here and we truly hope you enjoy exploring Cheerful.
On the face of it, we are an independent Christian art & creative community marketplace. But that simple sentence doesn't really communicate how we feel about creating Cheerful, or why we did it... Â
Who we are..
Our Founders
We founded Cheerful because for many years we have loved working in both the digital and the creative industries. So the work we do day-to-day is hugely fulfilling to us.
We get excited by innovations, communications, tech developments and digital trends emerging around the world - and we're committed to sharing those - and maybe even pioneering a few with you too.
Equally, we are passionate about really good art. Art is a truly beautiful human endeavour.  It remains one of the few areas in life that we unashamedly allow ourselves to mentally, spiritually & emotionally engage with something at the same time. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the very best of that.
Our Community
We come from lots of different backgrounds, countries and cultures. Each bringing their unique style and flavour to the work we display and the stories we tell.
The very best of this, we sell as beautiful unique artworks to support our mission. If you're interested in joining or supporting us, you will be most welcome here. Please take a look at our memberships, sign up, or get in touch anytime.
Our Mission
All of us know that when we receive something made for us, we have something truly special.Â
At Cheerful, artists create original productions, using their unique talents and exceptional passion, for you. Those aren't buzzwords and we aren't weaving some mystical spell into each piece of art we make! And yet, we craft thinking about who will see our work, what it will mean to them, and yes, praying for them too.Â
It is our deepest hope that beyond enjoying unique artworks, you will enjoy, and experience, the message behind each one of them. That's the real 'why' behind what we do.
Our Aims
We want to share about the Christian faith, using our craftsmanship and creativity.Â
Right now there are about 8 billion people in the world - we want to reach out to them and share the hope we have come to experience through our faith. We believe the way we can do that as Christians is as unique as each of those 8 billion souls. At Cheerful, we use art, and when you add your own message to it, together, we can make it personal. Because we know a personal God.
Cheerful's Faith Declaration
We believe there is one God, in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit and that the Bible is a collection of books telling us God’s story about his relationship with humanity.
We believe that the Son, Jesus Christ, lived with us on earth as a human, to teach us who God is and what God's kingdom is like.
Jesus taught that although humanity was separated from knowing God, he would sacrifice himself as a peace offering to bring us back together. Anyone who accepts this would be able to find, follow and have peace with God.
After dying for this cause, he was brought back to life; the first human to be truly, eternally, victorious over death. Ascending to the Father's kingdom in Heaven, he promised we will be able to go there too. And also, that he will return for us, to bring us there and completing God's kingdom come here on earth too.
While Jesus completes his preparations in Heaven, we are preparing our lives here on earth. But we aren't alone here. When we believe in him, the Holy Spirit stays with us here.
He teaches us how to begin a peaceful, loving relationship with God, learning all about God and his kingdom.
Whatever circumstances led us to hear and know this truth, once we experience it, we are instantly and permanently reconciled with God. From that moment onwards, God Never leaves us, or abandons us, not ever.
And we get to understand; to truly know, just how much God loves us - and that changes everything. The best part of all this? This and so much more, is for you; it's open to every single human being on the planet, bar none, no matter what.
This is our faith.
