About Faithfully Magazine
Our Mission
Faithfully Magazine is a fresh, bold, and exciting news and culture publication centering on Christian communities of color. Our mission is to amplify conversations, issues, and events impacting diverse communities. We celebrate and inform Christian communities via faithfullymagazine.com and our weekly newsletter.
The Team
Faithfully Magazine works with a diverse team of volunteer staff writers, contributors, and columnists to ensure that our mission to center Christian communities of color is reflected not only in our content but also on our masthead. Learn about Faithfully Magazine’s editorial team and advisors on the Staff page.
Our Ethos
Faithfully Magazine reports from an ethnically-diverse and ecumenical perspective in an effort to foster genuine Christian community among our readers. While we interview and profile a variety of individuals and report on diverse subjects spanning the spectrum of Christianity (and occasionally other faiths), we do not necessarily share the views of these individuals, organizations, churches, ministries or the viewpoints of those who write for the publication. Learn more on the Submissions page.
Our Readers
Our readership is composed of diverse readers–predominantly Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian Christians. Most of our readers are in their mid-20s to mid-40s, politically active, and regularly attend church. Learn more on our Media Kit page.
The Response
A wide variety of people have shown interest in and support for Faithfully Magazine and it’s mission to be another channel to reflect the diversity of thought and experiences of Christians of color. Here is what readers have said about Faithfully Magazine’s first print issue:
“… a new, sweet magazine for these troubled times…”
“What I found incredibly refreshing, was the breadth of viewpoints it encompassed–politically, socially, culturally, denominationally… It is so rare to find a source that is willing to provide a voice to views that don’t even necessarily even align with their own.”
“… intellectually stimulating, and had writing featured from fresh, new voices”
