Christianity Today Launches First Mobile App as Part of 70th Anniversary Campaign

Christianity Today released its first mobile app in May 2026, marking a significant step in the publication's digital expansion as it celebrates its 70th anniversary.

The app provides users with curated news briefings, devotional content, and access to the magazine's journalism. The launch is part of a broader anniversary initiative the organization calls the "One Kingdom" campaign, which aims to raise $32 million for global outreach and next-generation ministry programs.

Founded in 1956 by Billy Graham with the stated goal of planting "the evangelical flag in the middle of the road," Christianity Today has grown into one of the most widely read Christian publications in the world. The 70th anniversary issue, published in September and October 2026, examines how evangelicals have engaged public life over the past seven decades and looks ahead to the issues likely to define the next 70 years.

The issue focuses heavily on artificial intelligence, medical advancements including GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, and the evolution of the pro-life movement. Editor Russell Moore has described AI as a defining challenge for the church in the coming decades.

The mobile app launch reflects a broader push by Christian media organizations to reach younger audiences through digital platforms. Christianity Today said the app is designed to make its journalism more accessible to readers who consume news primarily on smartphones.

The One Kingdom campaign is the largest fundraising effort in the organization's history. Leaders said the funds will support international journalism, theological education partnerships, and programs aimed at engaging Christians under 40.
