Evangelical Press Group Adopts New Name Christian Communicators Network

Faith Facts

• The Evangelical Press Association has formally changed its name to the Christian Communicators Network.
• The new name reflects a board-approved decision to remove the word “evangelical” from the organization’s identity.
• Some members raised concerns about the implications of dropping the term “evangelical” from the group’s title.

Members of the Evangelical Press Association recently approved a proposal to change the organization’s name to the Christian Communicators Network.

The decision was put forward by the board and passed a membership vote, though it was not without opposition from some participants.

Critics within the group expressed concern that removing the word “evangelical” could signal a shift away from the association’s historic emphasis on biblical truth and gospel-centered communication.

Supporters of the name change argued that the new title better reflects the broader scope of Christian media work today.

“We believe this name more accurately represents the mission and diversity of our members,” a board statement said.

The transition marks a significant rebranding for an organization that has long served Christian journalists, editors, and publishers across the country.

While the vote has concluded, conversations about the implications of the name change are expected to continue among members who value the term “evangelical” as central to their identity and mission.
