Are you tired of trying to get some decent stock without being subjected to impure photographs? Or perhaps you are just trying to find some decent Christian stock for your Christian themed art? Or maybe you just wanna support the artists in the faith that provide the resources necessary for so much of our wonderful art! I know I am! And that is why Christians-Stock was created!

This site is a direct affiliate of . We are a resource for Christian art and as an extended ministry of =christians.
Here's a quote about our mission statement from our "sister" club.

"The deviantMISSION is made up of those who 'believe in' and understand the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for our sins and uphold the word of God (The Bible) as the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks."

If you meet the above requirements & wish to join our unashamed group, let us add your name to the members list by sending us a note. It is necessary that you state in your note why you feel that you should join and explain how you meet these requirements.
This group will have Christ-related and appropriate stock and resources.

Announcements and News can be found here

As with any club, we have rules that need to be followed in not only the USE of our stock but submitting it as well!

The deviation must be appropriate! When using our stock please do NOT use it in direct opposition to our cause. Sexually proactive, vulgar, anti-Christian, hateful, racial, sexist (etc) use of the stock is prohibited. Please do not use our stock for demonic and/or satanic themed or otherwise questionable pieces of art.
Send us a note with the link to your work.
Do not take other people's stock and submit them as your own pictures. This is still theft.
Link back to this account and to the picture that you used.
This stock is for non commercial use only, unless written permission is given and shown, from the owner of the stock.
All stock belongs to the artists that submit it.

Please do not abuse the privilege of using our stock, please follow the rules.


ONLY Christian-Stock members will be allowed to submit stock.

:May News:
Update: 5/16/07

It's fiiiiinally happening! The edits we have been speaking of the last couple of months, the revamping, the updates... are all happening NOW.

The work has been divided up between the admins and our goal is to have the entire gallery finished with updates by June 26!

Here's a sample of an updated/edited deviation.

Click on the thumbnail to view the author's comment section.

As you can see, the deviation is linked back to the artist's personal stock account. All of the stock submitted for display at CS in the future will have the same information. If you do not want your stock pieces to be linked back to your own personal/regular art account, please make a personal STOCK account that we can link back to as well as note to tell us of your newly made account.

One last thing. I know I've said it a million times but I'm saying it again. These updates mean that you have the full rights to your stock. All comments, downloads and favorites will be on your account and not at CS. (Those who favorite stock at CS on edited work will be asked to favorite your account instead.) This also means you will need to make a list of rules and terms of use as you also have full responsibility for your stock.

Here's an example of my terms of use/rules(click on thumbnail below), from my personal stock account. Feel free to use the same rules as me, or make your own.


After June 26th, the rules on the front journal page will be erased as every stock artist will be responsible for their own set of rules.

Questions? Send us a note!

Update: 4/24/07

God bless you all! Hope you are all doing well.

I would like to ask you all to make a separate, personal stock account that all your deviations, here, can be linked to with information about whether or not you will allow your stock to be used for commercial reasons, whether you will allow prints to be made with the use of your stock and any other rules you wish to have.

If you do not do this then we will simply link back to your own personal site where you will need to have that kind of information available there.

Feedback would be wonderful though we won't be changing the direction we are going which is to put the "rights", in regards to your stock pieces, back into your hands. The forums have been up for some time to talk about this issue.

You have until May 7th to create your new stock account if you so desire, otherwise your personal account will be linked back to as stated previously.

At this time (May 7th) we will begin editing all deviations in our gallery with notes in the "author's comments" section stating that any and all downloads, favs, etc... need to be made on YOUR account (personal or stock). We may disable comments altogether, that decision has not yet been made final.

Thanks for your support and contributions.
PS... the CS ID contest poll should be up soon on Christians. Sorry for the wait.

In Him,
The CS Team

Update: 1/27/07

Hey all...

I've been forced to take down one piece of stock due to it's misuse among those using it. It seems there was a misunderstanding of the rules. Please note that the rules have also been updated. If you use our stock, make sure that it's either completely neutral in content or that it is faith-based. That means our stock may not be used in pieces featuring (including but not limited to) demons, witches and disturbing pieces of art. If you really want to do that kind of thing, please use someone else's stock. Thank you!

In Him,
