Christ-Centred. Creative. Canadian.
Founded in 1945, Christian Courier is an independent Canadian publication with Reformed roots. Our stories seek to inspire action, build community and influence culture for Christ. Experience our redemptive journalism for yourself with a print subscription, sign-up for our email newsletters or join the lively discussions online at The Courier Community. Our authors, editors and readers don’t agree on every topic – and we like it that way! But we have this in common: we all centre our identities on Christ.
Mission
Christian Courier’s independent Canadian journalism inspires action, builds community and influences culture for Christ.
VISION
Christian Courier is a space to work out the tension between how we understand Scripture and how we live as people of faith in Canada today. It’s a dynamic, creative conversation, a hope-filled exercise in a polarized world. Every issue seeks to answer these questions: what does it mean to love God, love our neighbours and love each other?
All things are a part of God’s redemptive plan — education, health, politics, family, church, environment, arts, culture — the list goes on! We are called to use our skills as journalists, writers, designers and editors to shine light on dark places and usher in the hope that can only be found in Christ.
What our supporters say:
Christian Courier abounds with personality. I get the feeling that staff meetings would be fun, spirited and deep. That shows through in the paper, which is no small accomplishment.
CC also creates a sense of community. To read is to step into a circle of thoughtful, caring, connected people.
I’m part of a different denomination, but Christian Courier makes me gaze over the fence at the grass on your side. Congrats to the current staff [on 80 years], and much gratitude to those who laid the foundations earlier.

I applaud Christian Courier for its courageous journalistic witness. Rather than towing any ideological line, its editors have chosen the harder and holier path: to hold up, with honesty and grace, the very fractures that now threaten to divide their community of readers. They have done so in the Christian hope that deeper understanding can sustain connection and fellowship, even amid profound disagreement. That is no small thing — it is a rare and precious gift.

Christian Courier is a crucial voice in Canadian public discourse because it brings a faith-inspired framework to stories that come to bear on the key justice issues of our day. Citizens for Public Justice has been fortunate to collaborate with CC on many occasions, and we look forward to many more years of doing so.

While intentionally Canadian in its redemptive journalistic quest, Christian Courier always has an eye for the global picture, and it is that two-eyed approach – with a consistent focus on faith-filled education – that makes CC the kind of news commentary that draws us into a network of people and agencies that we love and trust.

Christian Courier remains a trustworthy source of information and connection for many Canadians, not only folks in the Reformed sector but an even broader range of Christians including professional communicators, ministry leaders and other readers who appreciate sound journalism.

For much of the CRC’s history in Canada, Christian Courier has been an indispensable conversation space. It has represented a variety of perspectives on a whole range of topics, while continually cultivating deep and practical reflection on our Reformed faith. Congratulations on 80 years, and I look forward to seeing how CC will continue to serve the church in Canada.
