Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN) — Organization Profile
Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN) is a nonprofit media ministry that provides Bible-based teaching and evangelism content 24/7 through television, livestreaming, radio, podcasts, and on-demand video. GBN’s stated purpose is to share “the truth of the Gospel” and to offer resources that can help believers grow and help seekers evaluate biblical teaching. The network’s programming is produced within (and for) churches of Christ, aiming to keep resources broadly accessible while maintaining a clear commitment to New Testament Christianity.
GBN explains that it is based in Olive Branch, Mississippi, and operates under the oversight of the elders of Southaven Church of Christ in Southaven, Mississippi. That oversight structure shapes the network’s identity as a church-supported work rather than a commercial media outlet. In its public “Support GBN” information, GBN states it is funded entirely by donations from congregations and members of churches of Christ and that it does not make on-air appeals for money.
Since 2005, GBN has developed multiple ways to distribute teaching. In addition to its live TV stream, the website organizes content into on-demand viewing and listening options (including podcasts) and a digital library. The library includes commentaries, topical studies, lecture collections, Spanish-language resources, and other teaching materials designed to support Bible classes, personal study, and congregational learning. GBN also points viewers to Bible correspondence-course options as part of its outreach strategy.
GBN’s “About” page highlights a ministry goal of helping those “seeking the truth among distorted Biblical teachings,” and it lists several operational priorities such as sharing the simplicity of the Gospel, emphasizing Christian evidences, and encouraging obedience to God beginning with the plan of salvation. These priorities are reflected in the network’s structured resources—regular shows, short-form teaching segments, devotional content, and topical series intended for consistent discipleship engagement.
Day-to-day leadership is delegated by the overseeing eldership to a management team. GBN publicly lists Don Blackwell as Executive Director, John Stubblefield as Director of Finance and Personnel, and Aaron Gallagher as Director of Programming. The organization also names Glenn Colley among key leaders supporting the work. Together with staff and volunteers, this team coordinates scheduling, content distribution, and ministry operations so that churches and individuals can access teaching materials at any time.
People can engage with GBN by watching the livestream, using on-demand programs and podcasts, exploring the online library, sharing resources with others, and supporting the ministry financially through its giving portal. Churches can also point members and seekers to GBN as a centralized hub for Bible teaching content and study tools.
