About Faithfully Magazine

Faithfully Magazine is an independently owned and operated multimedia platform reporting on issues, conversations, and events impacting Christian communities of color for an ethnically-inclusive and ecumenical audience. We publish insightful Q&As, inspiring features, and timely commentaries reflecting some of the most influential voices in U.S. Christianity. As a distinct media organization with diversity at its core, Faithfully Magazine has been featured or mentioned in publications such as The Washington Post; Vulture; Religion Dispatches; Christianity Today; The Federalist; The Christian Post; Missio Alliance, WNYC, Fortune magazine’s “Race Ahead” Newsletter, and elsewhere. We inform and celebrate Christian communities of color through faithfullymagazine.com, a newsletter, podcast, and video channel.

Faithfully Magazine follows in the footsteps of the pioneering Black-owned Christian publication Gospel Today magazine, once the premier source of inspiration and information for the African American Christian community. In 2019, Gospel Today publisher Roland Hairston II passed the torch to faithfullymagazine.com.

Our tagline is “News, Culture, and Christianity…for the Times.”

Over the years, we have worked with various organizations to produce insightful religion coverage. Some of these organizations include Sacred Writes, to assist religion scholars in framing their work for a wider audience; the Solutions Journalism Network, for a climate change reporting series with other newsrooms; and CivicStory, on its NJ Sustainability Reporting Fellowship program.
