We’re always looking for high-quality written submissions & story pitches that fit our mission.
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. CC prioritizes publishing stories by Canadians and writers living in Canada. As an independently funded publication, we face financial constraints. However, we remain committed to paying our contributors an honorarium and we give writers as much visibility as possible when we publish their work.
