The Congregationalist Campaign

Preserving a Voice

Strengthening a Legacy

Inspiring the Future

The Congregationalist is more than a magazine – it’s a ministry of connection, education, and inspiration. For generations, it has served as a faithful witness to the values, theology, and shared identity of Congregational Christian churches across the country.

Now, we’re launching The Congregationalist Campaign, an effort to raise $500,000 to strengthen the magazine’s endowment and secure its future for years to come.

Why

The Congregationalist

Matters

In an ever-changing world, The Congregationalist stands as a steady, faith-centered voice offering thoughtful content that reflects our theology, celebrates our diversity, and connects Congregationalists across distances and generations.

It’s one of few publications dedicated entirely to Congregational Christian perspectives. Through articles, reflections, historical insights, and features on NACCC news, missions, and programs, the magazine builds bridges between past and present, tradition and innovation, local and national.

Why Now

In today’s noisy and polarized media environment, the need for trusted, spiritually grounded content is more urgent than ever. Faithful readers seek voices that foster reflection, moral clarity, and hope rather than outrage or division. Yet rising publishing costs and shifts in the media landscape put pressure on small, independent publications like The Congregationalist.
A stronger endowment will help ensure:

The magazine remains free and widely accessible
Editorial independence is protected
Faithful content can be created and distributed sustainably

The Impact of Your Giving

Your support of this campaign helps:

Celebrate the local church and strengthen fellowship in the Congregational Way
Sustain the production and sharing of meaningful, faith-filled content
Foster a platform for emerging writers, thinkers, and leaders
Preserve a vital resource for spiritual growth, theological dialogue, and historical understanding

It isn’t just a donation – it’s an investment in Congregationalism.

Your gift today creates a legacy that will shape the church of tomorrow. With a stronger endowment, The Congregationalist will continue to be a trusted resource for future generations seeking to explore, understand, and live out the values of Congregational Christianity.

Together, we can ensure that the stories, voices, and theological depth of our tradition remain accessible for decades to come.

Join the Campaign

We invite you to be part of this historic effort. Whether you give a one-time gift or pledge ongoing support, your generosity helps preserve something truly sacred – a space for reflection, connection, and faithful storytelling.
