Reasons to consider advertising in The Christian Herald
Track Record
Published since the Fall of 1994, The Christian Herald is the longest running Christian newspaper serving any community in Ontario, and one of the largest in all of Canada.
Unique Format
With its full-colour, magazine-style cover (a first for Christian newspapers in Canada), The Christian Herald has been a Canadian pioneer in the world of Christian arts and entertainment coverage. The paper is well known for being the best place to find out about upcoming Christian events in the Golden Horseshoe region, giving church-goers a good reason to pick up their own copy each month.
Diverse Readership
The Christian Herald is not affiliated with any individual church or denomination and the paper is distributed each month in hundreds of Evangelical and Mainline churches.
Wide Circulation
Our newspaper is distributed throughout Southern Ontario's 'Golden Horseshoe’. This area, which is the most populated region in Canada, comprises the city of Toronto and its surrounding suburbs. This includes Ajax, Barrie, Brampton, Burlington, Grimsby, Hamilton, Markham, Mississauga, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, Oakville, Oshawa, Pickering, Richmond Hill, St. Catharines, Stoney Creek, Thornhill and Vaughan.
The Christian Herald is distributed free of charge into over 650 churches, bookstores, colleges and businesses. As of this writing, our monthly circulation is a minimum of 30,000 copies per issue.
Satisfied Advertisers
While most ad campaigns in The Christian Herald comes from organizations within the Christian community, an increasing number of secular advertisers are discovering the potential that lies in reaching Southern Ontario's Christian families. As the paper is mainly distributed within Houses of Worship, all advertising is subject to approval by the paper's management.
Some of our previous advertisers include Paramount Canada's Wonderland, Blessings Marketplace, World Vision, Focus on the Family and the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
