ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
“Kurios” is a play on words. The pronunciation is like that of “curious”, because curiosity is essential to creativity. The spelling is from the Greek, κύριος, which means LORD. This is because ultimately this business is unto the LORD. This is taken from Paul’s instructions in Colossians 3:23-24:
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the LORD and not for men, knowing that from the LORD you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
Therefore, Kurios Creative Media upholds Christian values in our hard work ethic, commitment to excellence and utmost integrity as we seek to serve our clients.
Kurios Creative Media is a network of Christian creative professionals who aim to honour the LORD and serve others with our work. We’re hard workers, not woke, and committed to a high standard of excellence.
Our Vision & MISSION
We aim to create excellent, creative, unique, compelling 3D, videos and designs to help our clients realize their creative projects. We highly value our client relationships and our top goal is their success. We provide consultation to help our clients figure out the scope and goals for their projects, establish a budget and realize their creative vision.
Our 3D’s
Design
While there is an element of subjectivity, we believe that a biblical standard for beauty is that its content must be true, its form must be aesthetically pleasing and it should serve a purposeful function. This is our aim as we aspire to create and design truly beautiful work.
Detail
God gave detailed instructions about the Tabernacle for everything from the priestly garments designed “for glory and for beauty” (Exodus 28:2) to the burnt offering which was a “pleasing aroma.” (Exodus 29:18) Likewise, we pay careful attention to detail in our pursuit of excellence.
Dominion
In Genesis 1:28, God gives mankind the Dominion Mandate whereby we are to take the earth’s raw uncultivated materials and organize them to make it productive and flourishing. We believe this is what we are fulfilling as we use our creative gifts to serve others and glorify God.
Our core values
- Creating with passion and energy
- Working with excellence and diligence
- No nonsense, clear communication
- High integrity and trustworthiness
- Exercising generosity and stewardship
- Faithfulness over compromise
- Blessing others and exceeding expectations
