Southern Gospel Today is owned and operated by HFM Media / Howard Family Ministries in Nashville, Tennessee

HFM has a rich history in Internet Ministry as they began in 1995 working through AOL operating a Christian Ministry Chat Room in which thousands came each week within a few months of starting the presence. A team of counselors and advisers were assembled to handle the load and ministry nee

ds in the room. The very first web site, hfmnet.com was put in place and remains there today with free books, and insights to all. In 1999 a venture called Southern Gospel Chat found it’s way to the Internet and each week again thousands joined in online chats 24 hours a day 7 days a week from around the world. This site would feature the names in Southern Gospel who would join for special one on one chats with the fans once a week. Folks like Hovie Lister, Vestal Goodman, Kirk Talley, Little Willie Wynn, and others shared with fans inside the chat room. The room was sold to Akers Ministries in North Carolina in 2001 and remained until the owners death the next year. A web hosting company was formed in 2001 to provide affordable web hosting for gospel groups and churches around the country. The hosting company grew each year until they had to add another server for sites being hosted. In 2009 HFM / HFM Media became a partner and soon owner of what is now called Southern Gospel Magazine, sold to Brewer Media in 2011. They also purchased sister site Gospel 45 Now which is a radio release web site. In January 2012, Southern Gospel Today began it’s presence on the Internet and quickly became one of the favorites among it’s peers. May, 2012 saw over 1 million visits to the web site and it has remained steady ever since. We would love to hear from you.

Ok... I'm a bit fed up with the attitude of some preachers towards live streaming the church service and saying it is not doing more than just glamorizing the pastor or church status. Saying it does nothing to "feed" the people.

A little church in Smyrna TN live streamed a revival service for several weeks,... one night after the service a man wrote in that he had actually watched services via the internet stream. He told of his life before and a new life he was facing due to the fact he had accepted Christ as his Savior that night during the live stream. The church was able to reach out to a local church in his area, again, via an internet connection and they were able to continue ministry to him,.... the man was in Sweden. If a church decides to do a live stream and I hope many will, not just on Facebook, but via websites like the church in Smyrna did, they have a responsibility to do more than just turn on the camera. You have to communicate to the audience that is watching as well. Some can't be in the physical service due to sickness or work. Some have been hurt by the church. As a man who owns a livestream company that deals only with ministries and churches, I am proud of the outreach we are doing. Last year we had over 550,000 people watch live streams. If one person comes to know Christ through those streams we are setting the table,... it's the church's job to feed the sheep. It's time to think outside the walls of the building.

If you want to know how to better utilize your live stream from your church, reach out to me!

WOW! A couple of years ago I opened up a social media website similar to facebook, but it's primary focus was for ministries and singing groups, and fans of such. Today there are over 2100 members to the site! But all of the "members" are advertising something that is not related to the main subjects or focus of the site. It's a shame that people will complain about a huge site like this but keep using it instead of supporting on that is owned by Christians, operated by Christians, with a Christian focus! Check out southerngospeltoday.com and see what our "Christian" community has become? Disgusted.

Work has been completed on a mural in downtown Mount Airy honoring The Easter Brothers, and the last-surviving member of the bluegrass gospel trio couldn’t be more pleased.
