Thank you for your interest in writing for Twin Cities Christian! We are a magazine that is “by Christians, for Christians,” and that means people like you. Although we cannot publish all submissions due to space constraints and brand scope, we are grateful to consider all submissions. We hope to get back to you in a timely manner.

Twin Cities Christian is a positive, local lifestyle magazine for Christians in the metro area. Every issue brings people together and helps businesses and nonprofits grow their brand in a loyal market.

Positive:

We are a magazine of “mere Christianity,” embracing the biblical, evangelically orthodox, creedal Christian faith. We avoid contentious or political issues, focusing instead on uplifting, authentic content that brings peace and joy to our readers. What are the struggles and successes of local families? What’s happening around town? When readers hold Twin Cities Christian we want them to think, “It feels good to be Christian!”

Local:

We highlight the opportunities in the Twin Cities, whether it’s archdiocesan events, church festivals, local concerts, restaurants, date night ideas, or family vacations. When readers finish every issue, we want them to think, “I love being Christian in Minnesota!”

Lifestyle:

We are not another catechetical resource or newspaper. Unless a church, nonprofit, or business pays for the publicity (an article or an advertisement), we do not publish anniversary milestones, informational articles, or news. Instead, we focus on local stories, events, practical tips, and creativity. While we cover faithful living and aspects of the Christian faith, we avoid “religiousese,” pedantic tones, or topics lacking a broad appeal. Lifestyle content is fun, creative, practical, insightful, and relevant. When readers open Twin Cities Christian, we want them to say, “This relates to my life!”

Content we’re looking for:

“Stars for stories.” Our team welcomes nominations for the feature cover story, including singles, newlyweds, young parents, older parents, empty nesters, widows and widowers, and any local Christian happy to share their story.

Recipes. These include cocktails, desserts, after-school snacks, breakfasts, dinners, potluck contributions, bathtub potions, and essential oil home spa ideas.

Poetry and the fine arts. Verse of any kind is welcome to be submitted for consideration and any paintings, photography, drawings, or cartoons.

Events. Church festivals, galas, fundraisers, events at the local zoo or science museum, performances, workshops, seminars, special services, choral events, unique cinema showings, seasonal events—anything open to the public and relevant to Christians will be open to review.

Personal Reflection. We are happy to consider articles 500 words or less that share a personal story, insight, or reflection on a variety of topics (e.g., motherhood, fatherhood, church life, liturgical seasons, domesticity, hospitality, work, prayer, neighborliness, school, homeschooling, crafts, vacations, health and fitness, marriage and family, budgeting, food, the arts, Minnesota history, dating, personal development, overcoming tragedy, and so on).

Christian School’s Corner. Any Christian school that would like to be featured in our Christian School’s Corner is welcome to submit a short 300-word introduction to and synopsis of their school for consideration. What are the school’s values? What makes the school stand out? Where is the school? Etc.
