Director Mike Cahill brought a distinct visual style to the filming, using only natural light and three cameras to create a spiritual feel - a style he dubbed "epic verite."
In September 2015, it was announced that the show's title had been changed from "The Way" to "The Path", because the original title too much resembled the real-life ministry "The Way International".
"The Path" was filmed at the Marydell Faith and Life Center in Nyack, N.Y..
