Gospel Advocate — Organization Profile
Gospel Advocate is a long-standing publishing and resource ministry that serves congregations within the churches of Christ tradition. Through its magazine work and curriculum publishing, Gospel Advocate provides Bible teaching materials, books, and church supplies intended to support local congregations in ongoing discipleship, teaching, and worship.
The publication dates back to 1855, when the first issue of Gospel Advocate appeared with the stated aim of “rendering some good service in the cause of truth.” From its beginnings, the magazine developed as a forum for Bible teaching, church news, and thoughtful engagement with questions facing churches. The organization continues to connect that heritage to modern needs by offering resources that churches can use in classes, small groups, and personal study.
In addition to the magazine, Gospel Advocate is known for producing Bible class curriculum. Its current curriculum lineup includes Foundations and Horizons, along with the Companion Annual Lesson Commentary, which provides a full year of lessons designed to supplement adult and teen quarterlies. These materials are built for consistent weekly use, giving churches structured teaching plans that align with Scripture-focused study over time.
Gospel Advocate also distributes books and other church resources, including communion supplies, and provides ordering support for congregations and individuals. The organization has communicated that it can handle “full-service ordering” by phone or email, which is especially helpful for churches accustomed to standing orders or bulk ordering for ministry programs and classes.
Gospel Advocate is based in Nashville, Tennessee, with its mailing address listed as 1006 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville, TN 37210. While its primary audience is churches of Christ in the United States, its publications and curriculum are used by readers and congregations in broader contexts wherever these resources are distributed and read.
People can engage with Gospel Advocate by subscribing to the magazine, ordering curriculum for Bible classes, purchasing books and supplies for congregational use, and using the company’s submission pathways for those interested in writing for its publications. Churches that rely on recurring curriculum shipments can also maintain or adjust standing orders through the provided customer service channels.
