GLOBAL CITIZENS INSPIRING CHANGE

As CMC Group reaches into people’s digital lives—in their homes, workplaces, and on-the-go with mobile—we hope to accomplish more than just informing people with good news and resources—we wish to go beyond the screen, inspiring heartfelt, positive change.
For this purpose, CMC has created initiatives on mission, media, education and persecuted Christians.
CMC Group Initiatives help mobilize people into action—action that we believe has the power to save lives.
We are committed to being global citizens in everything we do, respecting, strengthening and inspiring individuals, families, and communities around the world.

Mission

MAXIMIZING OUTREACH EFFORTS

CMC believes that we are in a unique position to grow mission through media. We have committed to maximizing the mission efforts of organizations by sponsoring evangelistic and outreach events:

HARVEST

Harvest Crusades events are designed to be opportunities for Christians to invite family members, coworkers, friends, and acquaintances to hear the life-changing message of the gospel in an environment that is entertaining, yet nonthreatening.
More than 4,744,000 people have attended a Harvest Crusades event in person, and more than 399,300 people have registered decisions of faith in Jesus Christ.

CATALYST

Catalyst was created to meet the felt need that existed within the church leader space for a leadership event that was focused on a new generation of church leaders.

Persecuted Christians

SOLIDARITY WITH SUFFERING CHRISTIANS

Christian Media Corporation has been recognized for its ongoing coverage of persecuted Christians around the world. Spreading news about persecution and suffering is crucial to keep readers informed about the challenging situations facing persecuted Christians around the world. The hope of our organization is that this type of coverage is no longer needed; that Christians will no longer be persecuted, tortured and killed solely because of their faith in Jesus Christ. In all of CMC’s work, the hearts and prayers of CMC employees go out to our brothers and sisters in Christ who are deeply suffering for their faith around the world.

OPEN DOORS

Open Doors is the world's largest outreach to persecuted Christians in the most high-risk places. For more information visit opendoors.org.

Media

BUILDING BRIDGES WITH MEDIA

Christian media brings a unique, balanced perspective to the news which allows the building of bridges, nurturing of faith, and capturing of topics essential to spirituality and life. To these ends, CMC has sponsored Christian media events spanning movies, music, traditional and new media:

BIOLA MEDIA CONFERENCE

The Biola Media Conference has a rich history of advancing the integration of faith and the arts. The goal for the Biola Media Conference continues to be an impassioned desire to gather the collective wisdom from people of faith who have been working successfully in Hollywood and impart that wisdom to the next generation. The BMC focuses on the real-life, practical issues of producing films and creating television, and other media. For more information visit biolamedia.com.

GOSPEL MUSIC ASSOCIATION

The Gospel Music Association’s purpose is to foster interest among the general public in gospel and Christian music, to build community and cooperation among industry leadership in order to address mutual business issues to maximize sales of Christian music and to promote public awareness of Christian music in our culture.

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS

National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) is a unique gathering of people, united by purpose and message: to proclaim the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ; to transform culture through the application of sound biblical teaching; and to advance biblical truth, to promote media excellence, and to defend free speech. NRB is a non-partisan international association of committed broadcasters and Christian communicators coming together to spread the life-changing Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through every electronic medium available.
