Faithful Foundations MarketplaceWhat every resource here has been checked for.
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
The baseline

- ✓Language and imagery are clean and modest
- ✓Nothing mocks the faith or promotes contrary ideologies
- ✓Original work, accurate content, correct faith-level label and any claimed standards covered
Distinctives you can filter by
Faithful Christians differ on some questions. We label these instead of choosing for you.
How review works
- Creators sign a statement of faith and content covenant.

Questions about the standard
Does everything sold here have to be about the Bible?
No. Resources do not need any faith content. Every listing must meet the baseline, which means nothing in it contradicts Scripture or a biblical view of creation, marriage, sexuality, gender and life. Listings are labeled by faith level so you can filter for exactly what you want.
Who reviews listings?
A trained reviewer reads every file and checks it against each baseline item before it goes live. An automated pre-screen flags topics for the reviewer first, but a person makes every decision.
Is every listing reviewed, or only faith-based ones?
Every listing, whatever its faith level. Nothing goes live without a reviewer’s approval.
What happens if a listing does not pass?
The creator gets the reviewer’s notes and can fix and resubmit, or the listing is declined. Creators can appeal a decision to our advisory board of pastors, educators and homeschool leaders.
What do creators agree to?
Before opening a shop, every creator signs our statement of faith and content covenant: they affirm the authority of Scripture and the historic creeds, promise to submit only their own original work, and agree that everything they submit will meet this standard.
Can a creator pay to get through review faster or to pass?
No. Review is the same for every creator, and no one can pay to pass.
I found something that breaks the standard. What do I do?
Email us at admin@faithfulfcs.com with the listing’s name. We refund your purchase in full and re-review the listing.
Who decides questions faithful Christians disagree on?
We don’t. Bible translation, teaching method, creation view and church tradition are labeled on each listing so you can filter by them, instead of us choosing for you.
