Package Contents
28 diagrams arrive inside one PPTX file together with 7 color schemes and matching POTX master.
Each diagram places the cross on a hill silhouette so the visual already carries the metaphor of ascent before any label appears.
Unlike workflow-focused sets the hill background creates immediate vertical flow that matches redemption arcs while the 7 color presets keep every slide consistent across a full deck.

Why This Template, Not a Blank Slide
Building the same cross-on-hill layout from scratch takes most pastors 90 minutes per diagram while this file delivers 28 variations ready to drop in.
Zone fills communicate magnitude without requiring a legend.
A level-4 redemption block reads as visually heavier than a level-2 block before the audience reads the label - that pre-attentive encoding matters in live services where attention shifts between discussion and slide.
Color coding in cross diagrams serves a theological function, not a decorative one - purple for grace, gray for struggle, follows the classification logic parishioners already use mentally.
