A Message
for the 21st Century
“CTN is Good TV”….
That theme is the message that carried the Christian Television Network into the new millennium.
It’s the nucleus of our mission statement; a continuing effort to inject a spiritually renewed shot
into the arm of the television industry; to win souls by sending spiritual truths found in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ out over the public airways; to support the institutions of marriage and
family by airing informative and entertaining programs that reflect Christian values; to take a
stand against anti-Christian forces.
CTN, founded in 1982, is the nation’s first African-American
Christian television network. The launching of our satellite network was completed in the Year 2001,
opening the way for continued expansion of our reach through out the nation and eventually the
world. CTN broadcasts programs from all Christian denominations, targeting a loyal, diverse audience
comprising millions of viewers in the Metropolitan Detroit and Greater Baton Rouge/ New Orleans
markets.
Great national and international ministries, powerful local
ministries, Christians talk and variety shows that have a finger on the pulse of society, all make
up the broadcast day at CTN. Partner with us as we seek out and answer
the call for more spiritual excellence in broadcast television.
Entertaining, Inspirational, Motivational.

Powerful Local Ministries
The most important work in Christian ministry is done by the
local church. This is the training ground that prepares armies of believers to go out and reach the
lost. Since 1982, the Christian Television Network has been a solid supporter of the goals of the
local churches.
This programming is vital to the Christian cause. It allows
local ministries to attract individuals from all walks of life for the purpose of bringing them into
fellowship in the House of the Lord. This fellowship is indispensable to the believer’s growth in
Christ because it provides spiritual reinforcement by association, allows the pastor to address
other kinds of needs, and prepares them for service in God’s Kingdom.
Some of the greatest churches in Christendom have aired
their services over CTN airways. From Detroit, to Atlanta, to Los Angeles, the message has been
given to viewers throughout the nation that the Word of God is still relevant for today and is
available at a church in their area. CTN is a great vehicle churches can use to promote their
products, worship services and events.
