If you want to know what’s going on in the UK Church, read Premier Christianity. We believe in connecting Christians to each other. We all know we have tribal tendencies – we attend conferences to hear speakers we agree with, we read books by the same speakers and we mix less and less with people who think differently. We don’t think it should be this way. That’s why we seek to engage the breadth

of the Church in the UK and beyond. Because we don’t believe that any one ‘tribe’ has the answer, and we have to keep talking to each other. To that end, you will find articles on theology, biblical interpretation, interviews, debates and changes and trends within the Church scene from a whole range of people. But the magazine is not just about the Christian bubble. We have to do everything we can to connect to the world around us. The magazine tackles issues which affect the whole of society, including politics, economics, international and current affairs. We also make sure we take a regular look at cultural trends – usually in music, books, films and TV programmes – looking for prevailing messages in our culture and how the Christian story can speak into them. Finally, Premier Christianity is about helping you go deeper with God. The Christian life is not easy, but it is good. We want to help you through the difficult times and cheer you on in the good. We cover prayer, hearing from God, pastoral issues, spiritual disciplines...anything which we think might encourage your personal faith, and inspire you to bring the Kingdom of God to earth. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we’re all here to do. To subscribe to Premier Christianity Magazine, visit: https://www.premierchristianity.com/subscribe
