Our History
Teenage Christian magazine was launched in 1960 by James Walter Nichols. It was published by Christian Publishing Inc. in Brentwood, Tenn. from 1973 to 2006. In Jan. 2006, The Institute for Church & Family in Searcy, Ark., acquired the magazine.
The Institute for Church & Family immediately began revamping the magazine; the name was changed to TC, the layout and design were given a contemporary makeover and the pages were filled with fresh editorial content. The new magazine debuted in June 2006.
“We are really glad to be able to take an established publication for teenagers and build on its track record,” Andrew Baker, TC magazine editor-in-chief, said. “We have worked with teenagers through our Uplift summer camps for many years, and we had been seeking a way to offer a continuous resource to teenagers. This magazine will give us a good start toward accomplishing our goal.”
During its 45-year history, Teenage Christian magazine distributed as many as 17,500 copies to teenagers in every state. Circulation reached its peak during the 1970s and ‘80s. From early 2002 until mid-2004, the magazine appeared only in a monthly electronic form, but requests for the print version initiated a return of the quarterly print publication in July 2004, in addition to the bi-monthly internet version, according to Jim Pounders, president of Christian Publishing.
The first issue of TC magazine reached nearly 5,000 teenagers in all 50 states. Subscriptions are increasing daily and initial feedback has been very positive.
