The Christian Chronicle — Organization Profile
The Christian Chronicle is an international newspaper serving Churches of Christ, producing journalism intended to inform, inspire, and unite Churches of Christ worldwide. Founded in 1943, the Chronicle describes itself as a newspaper committed to high journalistic standards, publishing both news reporting and clearly labeled opinion content. It is not positioned as a doctrinal or teaching publication; instead, it reports on people, congregations, and ministry developments across the Churches of Christ fellowship.
The Chronicle publishes a monthly print edition and maintains an active online news site with ongoing coverage across national and international categories. In addition to articles and features, the platform includes recurring sections such as Opinion, Reviews, Books, Milestones, Classifieds, and a Calendar, helping readers track events and engage stories that matter to local congregations and leaders. The organization also produces a weekly email newsletter to keep subscribers connected to key updates.
As a nonprofit publication, The Christian Chronicle invites readers to support its work through giving as well as through advertising. The Chronicle’s pages and website include opportunities for churches and organizations to advertise and promote events, while donors can partner financially to sustain reporting, storytelling, and distribution. The Chronicle also offers a “Gift the Chronicle” option that allows supporters to provide subscriptions to others, reflecting its goal of broad access to ministry-focused news.
The Christian Chronicle is published and governed by The Christian Chronicle Inc., an Oklahoma nonprofit corporation. The organization lists a board of trustees that provides oversight and support, and it notes that its trustees, editors, and staff are active members of Churches of Christ. The About page provides an overview of how content is handled: news coverage is presented as statements of fact according to cited sources, while signed columns and reviews reflect the views of their authors.
Readers can engage with The Christian Chronicle in several practical ways: subscribe to the print edition (free in the U.S., with international options), sign up for the email newsletter, follow the Chronicle’s reporting and video content online, submit guest columns or op-eds, and partner financially or through advertising. For churches and leaders who value staying connected to a wider fellowship, the Chronicle functions as a consistent stream of reporting, profiles, and perspective on God’s work in congregations and ministries around the world.
The Christian Chronicle’s office is listed in Edmond, Oklahoma, and its coverage serves Churches of Christ worldwide through both print and digital distribution.
