Our Founder

1918-2018

In 1956 Billy Graham felt the urgent need for balanced reporting, biblical commentary, and a loving posture on the social, cultural and theological trends, issues, and opportunities facing Christians.

That's why Billy founded Christianity Today.

Our nonprofit, global media ministry has shaped the minds and hearts of pastors, thought leaders, and culture makers ever since.

Billy Graham's Legacy

In accordance with Billy's call for Christians to “lead in love,” each and every day, in every corner of the planet, CT strengthens the church and the world by richly communicating the breadth of the true, good, and beautiful gospel.

It has never been more important for the church to be the church. And there’s never been such a great need and remarkable opportunity for Christianity Today. As it was in the beginning, the generosity of a community of partners is the engine that powers growth and creativity and ultimately empowers CT to serve the one global church.

Give to our nonprofit ministry today to invest in Billy Graham's vision and legacy—and you can see to it that CT has many more decades of gospel influence.
